  1. 1The numbers of the seismic events from October 1, 1997 to February 28, 2015, in a full-magnitude range occurring within each SDS according to the catalog of the JMA. The full-range magnitude of events is adopted for each SDS
  2. 2The completeness magnitude Mc is largely influenced by the station density, and the use of the earthquakes with magnitudes of 1.9 or larger above possibly covers a complete catalog (Nanjo et al. 2010). The b-value estimation in Table 1 includes M < Mc events and has an uncertainty due to the event detectability
  3. 3The parameters of Eq. 1 in the main text. The variable k is a dimensionless value. The unit of c is (Nms−1)
  4. 4The Pearson product–moment correlation coefficient (PPMCC) of the logarithm of the seismic moment and seismic interval for each SDS
