The Nankai Trough megathrust earthquakes inflicted catastrophic damage on Japanese society and more widely. Most research is aimed at identifying strongly coupled regions that are considered as a major source of future disastrous earthquakes. Here we present a b-value map for the entire Nankai Trough zone. The b value, which represents the rate of occurrence of small earthquakes relative to larger ones, is inversely dependent on differential stresses, and has been used to detect highly stressed ...[more]
