For at least five million years, the motion of the subducting Pacific plate has been steady in a direction approximately perpendicular to the strike of the island arc in northeast Japan. We have shown that the present-day topography, gravity and seismicity patterns can be modeled successfully by assuming an approximately steady tectonic compressive driving force and a plausible crustal rheology and...
Using a recently derived fault model of the 1891 earthquake, combined with a suitable rheological model of central Honshu, the authors quantify both the inland and offshore consequences of the Nobi earthquake. North of the Median Tectonic Line, the co-seismic plus postseismic stress changes of the Nobi earthquake promoted the failure of faults which subsequently ruptured in the decades following...
