Caption

Transient viscosity of the lower crust illustrated in 3-D with the Hinagu and Futagawa faults outlined in black and other fault surfaces traces shown in red. Downgoing Philippine Sea plate shown in dashed contours at 20 kilometer depth intervals. This material relates to a paper that appeared in the April 14, 2017, issue of Science, published by AAAS. The paper, by J.D.P. Moore at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore, and colleagues was titled, "Imaging the distribution of transient viscosity after the 2016 Mw 7.1 Kumamoto earthquake."
