If it did decline, does that mean much of the background activity level on these trenches immediately prior to the tohuko quake was driven by unrelieved stress in the tohuko area propagating to adjacent segments of the subduction system? So the big release at tohuko also relieved ruyuku and Aleutians trenches?
It's possible, maybe even likely.

Yes it is one of the most active subduction zones.

"In short, Meyer has shown that his first disastrous book was not a fluke: he is capable of going into any field in which he has no training or research experience and botching it just as badly as he did molecular biology. As I've written before, if you are a complete amateur and don't understand a subject, don't demonstrate the Dunning-Kruger effect by writing a book about it and proving your ignorance to everyone else!
