Figure 2: Temperature distribution in the slab

Caption

The temperature distribution is only plotted in the region where the depth of the slab surface is shallower than the bottom of the model (200 km), with a contour interval of 100°C. The white line indicates the area where low-frequency tectonic tremors occur, as shown in Figure 1. (a) The slab surface (0 km). (b) 6 km depth from the slab surface. (c) 10 km depth from the slab surface.
