Earthquakes ('plus' symbols) in both plates within 20 km of the line XY in Fig. 1 are shown, together with the top surface of the subducted Pacific plate (dashed). Small dots are nodes used in the tomographic inversions. Regions of low resolution are masked but contoured (shown white for vP and QP, and green for vP/vS).
