Fig. 5: Predicted viscoelastic deformation and afterslip models with and without a weak zone.
From: Sub-parallel fault afterslip and weak zone relaxation after the 2024 Noto earthquake
A Viscoelastic deformation without a weak zone. B Viscoelastic deformation with a weak zone. C The contribution due to the presence of the weak zone, modeled as the difference between models in (A, B). Afterslip modes for the middle plane using constraints without (D) and with (E) subtracting viscoelastic predictions of the weak zone. F, G Final model residuals of GNSS observations after removing the viscoelastic model predictions and afterslip model predictions. F The results without the weak zone and G The results with the weak zone. H Velocity anomaly maps derived from the velocity structure31.
