The 2011 Tohoku earthquake (2011/03/11 05:46:18 UT, M W 9.0) produced huge permanent displacements of up to 50 m and dynamic strain of up to 10−5 in the near-field. We observed dynamic strain (10−7) produced by this earthquake at a depth of 1 km in a gold mine in the Republic of South Africa at a distance of more than 14,000 km (125.25∘) from epicenter. The dynamic strain was observed by two Ishii-type borehole strainmeters about 30 m apart on opposite sides of a fault filled with gouge of...
