Remagnetization of Pre‐Fan Sediments Offshore Sumatra: Alteration Associated With Seismogenic Diagenetic Strengthening

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 129, Issue 8, August 2024.
Abstract Increases in temperature and pressure caused by rapid burial of sediments seaward of the Sumatra subduction zone have been hypothesized to trigger dehydration reactions that diagenetically strengthen sediments and contribute to the formation of an over‐pressured pre‐décollement, which together facilitate the occurrence of large shallow ...

Unusual subduction zones: Case studies in Colombia and Iran [PDF]

, 2007
Subduction zones, usually, are plate boundaries with the highest level of seismic activity. However, the distribution of seismicity in these plate margins is not uniform in the frequency and magnitude.

Seismic Site Amplification Characteristics of Makran Subduction Zone Using 1D Non-Linear Ground Response Analysis

Applied Sciences
The Makran Subduction Zone (MSZ) is a tectonic plate boundary where the Arabian Plate is subducting beneath the Eurasian Plate. This study investigated the dynamic response in the Gwadar region, located in the eastern part of the MSZ.

Emergency preparedness in the case of Makran tsunami: a case study on tsunami risk visualization for the western parts of Gujarat, India

Geomatics, Natural Hazards & Risk, 2016
The west coast of India is affected by tsunamigenic earthquake along the Makran subduction zone. On 28 November 1945 at 21:56 coordinated universal time (UTC), a massive Makran earthquake (M8.0) generated a destructive tsunami that propagated across the ...

Low heat flow from young oceanic lithosphere at the Middle America Trench off Mexico

, 2005
Seismic reflection profiles across the Middle America Trench at 20°N show a high amplitude bottom simulating reflector interpreted as marking a phase transition between methane hydrate and free gas in the pore space of both accreted and trench sediments.
