Fig. 3: Plot of the mean value of the deviatoric stress.
From: Intermediate-depth seismicity and intraslab stress changes due to outer-rise faulting
The mean value of deviatoric stress (Sii—Log (deviatoric stress (Pa)) recorded in an area around a selected bending fault network (e.g., small purple box in Fig. 2b–j) is plotted. Colored ovals depict stress spikes occurring concurrently either to the formation of new bending faults networks (2 and 3, green and blue ovals, respectively) or to episodes of interplate mechanical coupling (orange ovals).
