Overriding plate thickness control on subducting plate curvature
Subducting plate (SP) curvature exerts a key control on the amount of bending dissipation associated with subduction, and the magnitude of the subduction-resisting bending force. However, the factors controlling the development of SP curvature are not well understood. We use numerical models to quantify the role of SP rheology on the minimum radius of curvature, Rmin. We find that Rmin depends ...
متن کاملConstraints on subducting plate strength within the Kermadec trench
[1] Four specially designed surveys parallel to the Kermadec trench allow localized estimates of plate strength within the subducting Pacific plate to be made. The transfer function between topography and gravity is estimated for five trench-parallel ship tracks at distances of 25–110 km from the trench axis. We find a clear reduction in the magnitude and peak wavelength of the transfer functio...
متن کاملA Scattering Waveguide in the Heterogeneous Subducting Plate
The subducting plate is an efficient waveguide for high-frequency seismic waves. Such effects are often observed in Japan as anomalously large ground acceleration and distorted pattern of seismic intensity extending along the eastern seaboard of the Pacific Ocean from deep earthquakes in the Pacific plate, and Kyushu to Shikoku region from deep events in the Philippine Sea plate. Seismograms in...
متن کاملSlow earthquakes associated with fault healing on a serpentinized plate interface
Slow earthquakes that occur at subduction zones are distinct from regular earthquakes in terms of their slip behavior. We consider this difference to relate to localized hydration reactions at the plate interface that influence the frictional properties. The results of laboratory friction experiments indicate that simulated serpentine faults are characterized by a low healing rate and large sli...
متن کاملA comparison between the Kazerun (Iran) and the North Anatolian (Turkey) fault systems in fault interaction and seismicity migration based on the spatiotemporal analysis of earthquakes
The Kazerun Fault System (KFS) is a right-lateral strike slip fault system in the middle part of the Zagros seismogenic zone in Iran. Historical and instrumental earthquake data catalogs of this fault system show good evidence of fault interactions and seismic migrations. This study provides evidence for the migration of seismicity in the middle part of the Zagros region along the segments of t...
