Figure 1

Tectonic map of the Ryukyu subduction zone and its around area, southwestern Japan. The black barbed line represents the Ryukyu Trench. The black arrows denote plate motion vectors of the Philippine Sea (PHS) plate with respect to the Amurian plate1. The rectangular region surrounded by the pink lines denotes the model region. The black solid lines with numerals represent isodepth contours of the upper surface of the subducting PHS plate (in km) in the model region16,17,17 whose depth intervals are 20 km. The yellow-shaded rectangular areas denote the fault planes of S-SSEs2 during the period from 1 January 1997 to 10 November 2013. The red-solid circles denote epicentres of LFEs3 during the period from 1 April 2004 to 31 December 2016.
