Fig. 8

The blue contour lines represent spatial distribution of the total amount of slip of the Tokai L-SSE from 2012.0 to 2018.0. The contour interval is 2 cm. The gray contours show the slip magnitude of the previous Tokai L-SSE for the period between 1 January 2001 and 1 January 2008, with a contour interval of 10 cm by Ozawa et al. (2016). The area surrounded by the thick purple line is the source region of the anticipated Tokai megathrust earthquake, which was proposed by the Central Disaster Prevention Council of the Cabinet Office, Government of Japan (2001). The black isodepth contour lines with an interval of 10 km represent the upper surface of the subducting Philippine Sea plate obtained by Hirose et al. (2008). The black line represents the plate boundary obtained by Bird (2003), Lindquist et al. (2004), and Iwasaki et al. (2015), and the solid triangles indicate the direction of motion of the plate to be subducted
