Bidirectional Loading of the Subduction Interface: Evidence From the Kinematics of Slow Slip Events

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2020
Subduction zones host some of Earth's most damaging natural hazards, including megathrust earthquakes and earthquake‐induced tsunamis. A major control on the initiation and rupture characteristics of subduction megathrust earthquakes is how the coupled ...

Simple Kinematics of Subduction Zones [PDF]

International Geology Review, 2006
Two main types of subduction zones can be distinguished: (1) those where the subduction hinge migrates away from the upper plate; and (2) those in which the subduction hinge migrates toward the upper plate. Apart from a few exceptions, this distinction seems to apply particularly for W-directed subduction zones and E- or NE-directed subduction zones ...

Persistent elastic behavior above a megathrust rupture patch: Nias island, West Sumatra [PDF]

, 2008
We quantify fore-arc deformation using fossil reefs to test the assumption commonly made in seismic cycle models that anelastic deformation of the fore arc is negligible.

Multiple Slabs and Complex Mantle Flows in the Molucca Sea Subduction Zone

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems
The Molucca Sea subduction zone is unique for its active divergent double‐subducted slab located in the north of the Java and Banda subduction zones. The spatial proximity of these subduction zones would cause a complex mantle flow field.

Magmatic fingerprints of subduction initiation and mature subduction: numerical modelling and observations from the Izu-Bonin-Mariana system

Frontiers in Earth Science
Understanding the formation of new subduction zones is important because they have been proposed as the main driving mechanism for plate tectonics and they are crucial for geochemical cycles on Earth.

A Comparative Study of the Sumatran Subduction-Zone Earthquakes of 1935 and 1984 [PDF]

, 2002
A M_s 7.7 earthquake struck the western, equatorial coast of Sumatra in December 1935. It was the largest event in the region since the two devastating giant earthquakes of 1833 and 1861.

Subduction-transition zone interaction: A review [PDF]

Geosphere, 2017
AbstractAs subducting plates reach the base of the upper mantle, some appear to flatten and stagnate, while others seemingly go through unimpeded. This variable resistance to slab sinking has been proposed to affect long-term thermal and chemical mantle circulation.

Siberian flood basalt magmatism and Mongolia-Okhotsk slab dehydration [PDF]

, 2008
Experimental data combined with numerical calculations suggest that fast subducting slabs are cold enough to carry into the deep mantle a significant portion of the water in antigorite, which transforms with increasing depth to phase A and then to phase ...
