SMGA 1, SMGA 2, SMGA 3, SMGA 4, and SMGA 5 initiated to rupture 15.6 sec, 66.4 sec, 68.4 sec, 109.7 sec, and 118.2 sec after the rupture originated at the hypocenter.
Thus, the rupture process of the long-term slow slip after September 2009 was similar to those of the previous Bungo Channel slow slips, in that the rupture originated in a shallower part beneath southwest Shikoku and extended into a deeper region beneath the Bungo Channel during the highspeed period.
The rupture originated on the Red River fault, which had not experienced an earthquake above magnitude 7 since 1700.
If SMGAs lie within anomalous areas such as those we identified, large slip ruptures originating there would be expected to cause large ground motions. .

From the pattern of aftershocks, it has been suggested that this earthquake originated from rupture along a previously unknown geological fault, the Pichilemu Fault, between Pichilemu and the commune of Vichuquén in Maule Region, at 15 km depth, 40 km in length and 20 km wide.
Half of the estimated 40,000 infarctions precipitated by surgery per year in Europe originate from rupture of unstable atherosclerotic plaques, and half are due to an oxygen supply-demand mismatch (Dawood et al., 1996; Cohen and Aretz, 1999; Kertai et al., 2003; Priebe, 2011; Gualandro et al., 2012; Hanson et al., 2013).
Thus, the resistive switching from turn-on to turn-off originates from the rupture of the conductive path that is the erase process of the storage cell.
In order to expedite results, we consider a volume of 600 × 800 × 50 km3 with a grid spacing of 500 m. Figure 5 shows a snapshot of ground motion for Model D. The first radiation originates from the initial rupture process (until 60 s), and then, accompanied by the main rupture propagation, the strongest phase propagates along the whole fault length.
This discrepancy originates from the assumed rupture speed in the model and hence provides an insight into the rupture characteristics of analyzed moderate-sized earthquakes, as described in detail in the following.
