T emperature and shear stress are two influential variables that affect faulting and seismicity in subduction zones, where tectonic plates converge. Yet because earthquakes originate tens of ...

and the deformation of the plate beneath Vancouver Island may simply provide the additional stress that triggers seismicity here. Calvert, A.J., Seismic reflection imaging of two megathrust shear ...

subduction zones, and earthquakes. I am interested in the properties of the Earth’s crust and mantle, the nature of lithospheric deformation, and the causes and consequences of induced seismicity. My ...

Megathrust earthquakes occur when stress at subduction zones is released, causing significant plate slippage. These events disrupt long-term tectonic changes, complicating modeling efforts.

A record-breaking deep earthquake registered in May 2015 offshore of Japan likely was not a tectonic event but triggered by a ...

In a nutshell Scientists have solved the mystery of how earthquakes can occur 420 miles deep inside Earth, where extreme ...

The magnitude 7.9 Bonin Islands earthquake sequence, which ruptured deep within the earth near the base of the upper mantle, did not include an aftershock that extended to record depths into the lower ...

The earthquake took place within the Izu-Bonin subduction zone 680 kilometers below the ... pressures promote efficient redistribution of stress following the mainshock, further reducing the ...
