Asperity distributions and large earthquake occurrence in subduction zones
Ruff, L.J., 1992. Asperity distributions and large earthquake occurrence in subduction zones. In: T. Mikumo, K. Aki, M. Ohnaka, L.J. Ruff and P.K.P. Spudich (Editors), Earthquake Source Physics and Earthquake Precursors. Tectonophysics. 211: 61-83. Plate tectonics and the seismic gap hypothesis provide the framework for long-term earthquake forecasting of plate boundary earthquakes. Unfortunate...
متن کاملDo Trench Sediments Affect Great Earthquake Occurrence in Subduction Zones?
-Seismic energy release is dominated by the underthrusting earthquakes in subduction zones, and this energy release is further concentrated in a few subduction zones. While some subduction zones are characterized by the occurrence of great earthquakes, others are relatively aseismic. This variation in maximum earthquake size between subduction zones is one of the most important features of glob...
متن کاملSubduction Zones
[1] Subduction zones are where sediments, oceanic crust, and mantle lithosphere return to and reequilibrate with Earth’s mantle. Subduction zones are interior expressions of Earth’s 55,000 km of convergent plate margins and are the geodynamic system that builds island arcs. Excess density of the mantle lithosphere in subduction zones provides most of the power needed to move the plates while in...
متن کاملTemporal variation of large intraplate earthquakes in coupled subduction zones
The focal mechanisms of intraplate earthquakes within subducting lithosphere are frequently used to infer large-scale stress regimes induced by slab-pull, bending or unbending, and lateral segmentation and undulations of the slab . Numerous studies have further postulated that the intraplate activity is influenced by transitory regional stress regimes such as those associated with interplate th...
متن کاملEarthquake Nucleation and Rupture at a Range of Scales : Laboratories , Gold Mines , and Subduction Zones
We measured spectral and time-domain properties of seismic events over a size range that spans magnitudes M r -2 to 8 in order to study earthquake source processes. In addition, we conducted laboratory experiments to study interseismic behaviors that can influence earthquake nucleation and we developed a model of eathquake rupture to explain the scaling behaviors we observe. To bridge the scale...
