The finite-element model used in our study. a Overview, b close-up view for the region of the red rectangle in a with the location of the megathrust and c close-up view for the region of the black rectangle in b with finite-element mesh patterns. The elements with the same color are in the same structural component (we have six of them, elastic and viscoelastic layer in three plates). The green color is used to distinguish the elements that are located above sea level. The green elements have the same material properties as those in the continental plate
