Stable forearc stressed by a weak megathrust: Mechanical and geodynamic implications of stress changes caused by the M= 9 Tohoku‐oki earthquake
Rupture‐zone averaged static stress drop in the 2011 M= 9 Tohoku‐Oki earthquake was
less than 5 MPa, but it caused a stress reversal in most of the offshore forearc, although the …
