The Role of Slab Remnants in Modulating Free Subduction Dynamics: A 3‐D Spherical Numerical Study

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems
Seismic tomography of Earth's mantle images abundant slab remnants, often located in close proximity to active subduction systems. The impact of such remnants on the dynamics of subduction remains underexplored. Here, we use simulations of multi‐material

Influence of Farallon Slab Loading on Intraplate Stress and Seismicity in Eastern North America in the Presence of Pre‐Existing Weak Zones

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems
Despite the stability of the continental interior, eastern North America has hosted many significant historical earthquakes. Seismicity concentrates within tectonically inherited structures, which can act as weak zones where stress accumulates.

Unraveling the Connection Between Subsurface Stress and Geomorphic Features

Geophysical Research Letters
The tectonic stress field induces surface deformation. At long wavelengths, both lithospheric heterogeneity (changes in the thickness and density of crust and lithospheric mantle) and basal tractions from mantle convection contribute to the stress field.

Mantle-driven plate convergence due to slab detachment

Communications Earth & Environment
The coupling between the lithosphere and mantle dynamics is important for Earth’s tectonic movement and deformation. Plate driving forces changing from subduction to viscous flow drag can potentially explain the continuous plate convergence where ...
