Fig. 1From: Slow slip event in the focal area of the 1975 Kurile tsunami earthquake inferred from unusual long-term seismic quiescenceEarthquakes considered in the present study. a, c Earthquake distributions before and after the declustering process, respectively. Earthquakes were selected from the ISC catalog and occurred from 1 January 1964 to 30 September 2019, with mb ≥ 5.0 and depth ≤ 60 km. The study area is in a large circle with a radius of 882 km centered at 46.71°N and 154.33°E, and the solid line along the Kurile Islands indicates the trench axis (Bird 2003). b, d Space−time plots before and after the declustering process, respectivelyBack to article page
