Geosciences, 2022 Currently recognised lithospheric models hypothesise the non-existence of a lithospheric slab (a so-called slab gap) in the area of the Northern Dinarides, and the possible existence of a shallow slab in the Southern Dinarides.

Triggered seismicity associated with the 1990 Nicoya, Costa Rica, M-w=7.0 earthquake [PDF]
, 2009 The 25 March 1990 (M-w = 7.0) subduction megathrust earthquake that occurred offshore the Nicoya Peninsula, Costa Rica, produced a large number of aftershocks on the subduction plate interface as expected and preceded an unusual sequence of earthquakes ...

On the initiation of subduction zones
pure and applied geophysics, 1989 Analysis of the relation between intraplate stress fields and lithospheric rheology leads to greater insight into the role that initiation of subduction plays in the tectonic evolution of the lithosphere. Numerical model studies show that if after a short evolution of a passive margin (time span a few tens of million years) subduction has not yet ...

Back to full interseismic plate locking decades after the giant 1960 Chile earthquake
Nature Communications, 2018 Great megathrust earthquakes arise from the sudden release of strain accumulated during centuries of interseismic plate convergence. Here, the authors reconstruct interseismic strain accumulation since the 1960 Chile earthquake, finding a transient ...

Neotectonics of the Sumatran fault, Indonesia [PDF]
, 2000 The 1900-km-long, trench-parallel Sumatran fault accommodates a significant amount of the right-lateral component of oblique convergence between the Eurasian and Indian/Australian plates from 10°N to 7°S.

The secret to starting subduction is ... subduction
, 2020 Caroline Eakin, ANU The Earth's biggest earthquakes and most explosive volcanoes occur at subduction zones" where a tectonic plate (the seafloor itself) sinks bank into the Earth's interior. We've been able to compile 100 million years of existing evidence for Subduction Zone Initiation (SZI).

The Depositional Record, EarlyView.The lacustrine Gördes Supradetachment Basin was developed along the Simav detachment fault during postorogenic extension in the north of the Menderes Massif in western Anatolia. The basin‐fill succession is represented by alluvial fan, Gilbert‐type delta, shoal‐water delta, foreshore, shoreface, offshore‐transition and peat‐forming mire deposits.
