Topographic effects on crustal stress around the Atera Fault, central Japan

Abstract The stress estimated from hydraulic fracturing test was inconsistent with a centroid moment tensor inversion result at the Atera fault area, Gifu Prefecture, central Japan. We demonstrate the stress obtained from a hydraulic fracturing mainly reflects topographic effect. We conduct a numera...
