Abstract

We suggest that the spatial location of the 2011 Tohoku earthquake rupture and slip distribution on it was strongly influenced by the subduction of seamount chains. Subduction of seamounts across the Japan trench caused weak coupling on the plate interface which acted as barriers to the 2011 Tohoku earthquake rupture and thus delimited it.
