Extended Data Fig. 3: Snapshots of surface motion rates for the 3-D models.
From: Interseismic secondary zone of subsidence during earthquake cycles in subduction zones
Shown here are the separate and combined contributions of megathrust locking and viscoelastic relaxation of earthquake induced stress to the deformation in Fig. 3a–c. The relaxation has larger effects during the postseismic period, as shown in panels c, f and i; it is overshadowed gradually by the effects of megathrust locking, as shown in panels b, e, and h for the early interseismic stage, and a, d, and g for the late interseismic stage.
