Rapid mantle flow with power-law creep explains deformation after the 2011 Tohoku mega-quake
Nature Communications, 2019 Large subduction zone earthquakes like the M 9.0 Tohoku earthquake of 2011 are followed by transient surface deformation. Here, the authors show this to be caused by rapid flow taking place in the asthenosphere due to temporarily decreased viscosity ...

Seismological Aspects of the December 2004 Great Sumatra-Andaman Earthquake [PDF]
, 2006 The 2004 Great Sumatra-Andaman earthquake had an average source duration of about 500 sec. and a rupture length of 1,200–1,300 km. The seismic moment, M0, determined with a finite source model, was 6.5×1022 N-m, which corresponds to Mw=9.18.
