Subduction Zone Obliquity Dictates Global Trench‐Parallel Inner Forearc Deformation

AGU Advances, Volume 6, Issue 1, February 2025.
Abstract Although subduction zones are characterized by convergence, the upper plates of subduction zones exhibit a diverse range of deformation styles that are often inconsistent with regional convergence. While several theories have been proposed to explain these variations, the underlying factors driving these differences are still not fully ...

Seismic attributes for identifying gas-hydrates and free-gas zones: application to the Makran accretionary prism

Episodes, 2009
The most commonly used marker for gas-hydrates is a bottom simulating reflector or BSR on seismic section. The BSR is not a lithological interface but a physical boundary between the gas-hydrates bearing sediments above and free-gas saturated sediments below.

Controls on the geometry and evolution of thin-skinned fold-thrust belts, and applications to the Makran accretionary prism and Indo–Burman Ranges [PDF]

Geophysical Journal International, 2019
The formation of fold-thrust belts at convergent margins is a dynamic process. Accretion of weak sediments to the front of the overriding plate results in crustal thickening and continued flexural subsidence of the underthrusting plate. Fold-thrust belts are often treated as a Coulomb wedge having self-similar geometries with a critical taper, and ...

Processes of seamount materials accretion in subduction complexes: The example of the Durkan Complex (Makran Accretionary Prism, SE Iran)

, 2023
Seamounts are topographic highs of the oceanic plates, and they are passively carried toward convergent margins where they may interact with the frontal part of the subduction complexes, modifying their shape and influencing the operating tectonic processes.

Characteristics of High Saturation Hydrate Reservoirs in the Low-Angle Subduction Area of the Makran Accretionary Prism

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022
To delineate the spatial distribution of high saturation gas hydrate reservoirs in the low-angle subduction areas of the Makran Accretionary Prism, we conducted seismic data interpretation and impedance inversion of gas hydrates in the Makran ...

Surficial sedimentary properties of Makran accretionary prism and its application to natural gas hydrate distribution

Frontiers in Marine Science
The Makran accretionary prism (MAP) resulted from the low-angle, slow-rate subduction of the Arabian Plate beneath the Eurasian Plate. The MAP is an active continental margin, with natural gas hydrate (NGH).
