متن کاملSlab pull, slab weakening, and their relation to deep intra-slab seismicity
[1] Subduction zone seismicity is highly variable. Great earthquakes occur at few subduction zones around the world, with significant variation in size and frequency of deep events. Interactions between overriding and subducting plates and slab pull strength for individual plates provide a framework for understanding these variations. Previous work suggests an inverse correlation between great ...
متن کاملAndean flat-slab subduction through time
The analysis of magmatic distribution, basin formation, tectonic evolution and structural styles of different segments of the Andes shows that most of the Andes have experienced a stage of flat subduction. Evidence is presented here for a wide range of regions throughout the Andes, including the three present flat-slab segments (Pampean, Peruvian, Bucaramanga), three incipient flat-slab segment...
متن کاملGeometric Inequalities on Locally Conformally Flat Manifolds
In this paper, we are interested in certain global geometric quantities associated to the Schouten tensor and their relationship in conformal geometry. For an oriented compact Riemannian manifold (M,g) of dimension n > 2, there is a sequence of geometric functionals arising naturally in conformal geometry, which were introduced by Viaclovsky in [29] as curvature integrals of Schouten tensor. If...
متن کاملSlab temperature controls on the Tonga double seismic zone and slab mantle dehydration
Double seismic zones are two-layered distributions of intermediate-depth earthquakes that provide insight into the thermomechanical state of subducting slabs. We present new precise hypocenters of intermediate-depth earthquakes in the Tonga subduction zone obtained using data from local island-based, ocean-bottom, and global seismographs. The results show a downdip compressional upper plane and...
