Changes in Seismicity Pattern Due to the 2016 Kumamoto Earthquakes Identify a Highly Stressed Area on the Hinagu Fault Zone

Abstract A highly stressed area where eventual ruptures have often been observed to nucleate is characterized by low b values of earthquake frequency‐size distribution. Crustal deformation due to the occurrence of large earthquakes causes stress perturbation in nearby regions, so an investigation in...
