Fig. 2: Stress and tremor count variation during coalescence of slow slip event (SSE) in the deceleration phase.

a Stress changes from April 27th to May 2nd. The purple line represents the number of tremors, the red line represents the slip rate, and the yellow line represents the stress release rate along the strike. The red arrows indicate the direction of slow slip fronts propagation, and the purple arrows represent the increase or decrease in tremor counts in the coalescing area. b Schematic diagrams of tremor and slip in the early stage of the coalescence of two SSEs. c Schematic diagrams of tremor and slip in the intermediate stage of two SSEs coalescing.
