Separation of Inelastic Deformation Based on Crustal Deformation before and after the 2011 Tohoku-oki Earthquake

East–West strain rate distribution in central Japan before (upper row) and after (lower row) the 2011 Tohoku-oki earthquake based on continuous GPS observation (left on each row). Purple lines denote active fault traces. East–West strain is a representative signal associated with both subduction of the Pacific plate and tectonic deformation in central Japan. Plots at the middle and on the right are long- and short wavelength components of the strain rate distribution. While the long-wavelength pattern was reversed before and after the earthquake, a persistent localized contraction is identified around the northern Niigata–Kobe Tectonic Zone delineated by a dashed line, indicating contribution of inelastic deformation.
