maps - Researchers from Kyushu University deployed 1,000 seismic stations in the area around the epicenter of the 2000 Western Tottori Earthquake, allowing seismic observations of unprecedented accuracy.

charts - When the earth's crust contains many weak faults in random orientations, large earthquakes are unlikely to occur. However, when the earth's crust contains many strong faults that are oriented in characteristic direction, there is a higher likelihood that a large earthquake could occur.
