Oregon subduction zone: venting, fauna, and carbonates.
Transects of the submersible Alvin across rock outcrops in the Oregon subduction zone have furnished information on the structural and stratigraphic framework of this accretionary complex. Communities of clams and tube worms, and authigenic carbonate mineral precipitates, are associated with venting sites of cool fluids located on a fault-bend anticline at a water depth of 2036 meters. The dist...
متن کاملArchaea mediating anaerobic methane oxidation in deep-sea sediments at cold seeps of the eastern Aleutian subduction zone
Cold seeps in the Aleutian deep-sea trench support proli®c benthic communities and generate carbonate precipitates which are dependent on carbon dioxide delivered from anaerobic methane oxidation. This process is active in the anaerobic sediments at the sulfate reduction-methane production boundary and is probably performed by archaea working in syntrophic co-operation with sulfate-reducing bac...
متن کاملOffshore forecasting of Hawaiian tsunamis generated in Alaskan-Aleutian Subduction Zone
This report describes an R&D activity conducted during FY 1998 to develop tsunami forecasting tools for the Pacific Disaster Center (PDC). The activity included analytical and numerical sensitivity studies of tsunami wave characteristics offshore of Hawaii, for ranges of earthquake source parameters in the Alaska-Aleutian Subduction Zone (AASZ); this region is a major source of destructive tsun...
متن کاملSubduction zone rheology
Rheological flow laws can be obtained from studies using multi-anvil high-pressure systems with synchrotron-based piezometers and strain metrics. The high flux X-ray source provides minute-scale time resolution with accurate measurement of diffraction patterns and direct sample images. Measurements of length changes with an accuracy of one part in 104 are being developed and will provide a new ...
متن کاملEarthquake hazards on the cascadia subduction zone.
Large subduction earthquakes on the Cascadia subduction zone pose a potential seismic hazard. Very young oceanic lithosphere (10 million years old) is being subducted beneath North America at a rate of approximately 4 centimeters per year. The Cascadia subduction zone shares many characteristics with subduction zones in southern Chile, southwestern Japan, and Colombia, where comparably young oc...
