During the 2011 Tohoku earthquake, the slips on these subfaults which largely slipped 20 m in 1896 were 3 and 14 m, but the shallower parts slipped 20 and 36 m, where the 1896 slip was 3 m. Hence the large slip of the 2011 Tohoku earthquake occurred even shallower part (a depth range of 0 - 3.5 km) of the 1896 Sanriku earthquake. This magnitude 8.5 earthquake killed more than 27,000 people in Sanriku, nearly in the same location as the 1933 earthquake.
