<p class="norm">There was a plotting error in <a href="http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v444/n7116/full/nature05297.html#f1" data-mce-href="http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v444/n7116/full/nature05297.html#f1">Fig. 1</a> that inadvertently displays earthquakes for the incorrect time interval. The location of earthquakes during the two-day-long slow-slip event of January 2005 are shown here in the corrected <a href="http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v444/n7116/full/nature05297.html#f1" data-mce-href="http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v444/n7116/full/nature05297.html#f1">Fig. 1</a>. Because the incorrect locations were also used in the Coulomb stress-change (CSC) calculation, the error could potentially have biased our interpretation of the depth of the slow-slip event, although in fact it did not. Because nearly all of the earthquakes, both background and triggered, are landward of the slow-slip event and at similar depths (6.5–8.5 km), the impact on the CSC calculations is negligible (<a href="http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v444/n7116/full/nature05297.html#f2" data-mce-href="http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v444/n7116/full/nature05297.html#f2">Fig. 2</a>; compare with Fig. 4 in original paper). The error does not alter our conclusion that the triggered events during the January 2005 slow-slip event were located on a subhorizontal plane at a depth of 7.5 <img src="http://www.nature.com/__chars/plus/special/plusmn/black/med/base/glyph.gif" alt="plusminus" data-mce-src="http://www.nature.com/__chars/plus/special/plusmn/black/med/base/glyph.gif"> 1 km. This is therefore the most likely depth of the slow-slip events. We thank Cecily J. Wolfe for pointing out the error in the original <a href="http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v444/n7116/full/nature05297.html#f1" data-mce-href="http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v444/n7116/full/nature05297.html#f1">Fig. 1</a>.</p>
