Fig. 4: Spatio-temporal distribution of slow slip events (SSEs) and the scaling laws of SSEs.
From: Secondary acceleration of slip fronts driven by slow slip event coalescence in subduction zones
a Time and magnitude distribution of SSEs in our catalogue. b Timing and rupture extent of the SSEs. The gray dots represent the corresponding daily tremor locations from the PNSN catalog. The slip rates have been normalized for plotting. c Relationship between moment and duration of SSEs. d Relationship between moment and rupture area of SSEs. The blue line represents the contour of 1 kPa stress drop. e Aspect ratio of rupture areas. f The magnitude-frequency distribution. Purple circles indicate Michel’s catalog’s magnitude-frequency distribution, and blue circles show our catalog’s distribution.
