The collision of thickened crust with subduction zones significantly modifies subduction. These accretion events lead to net growth of continents and drive much of the subduction-related tectonism. Terrane collision may also have a profound effect on the size, coupling, and rupture characteristics of large intraplate earthquakes. The present accretion of exotic terranes with the Alaska subducti...

Seamounts are submarine volcanoes postulated to be formed either by hot mantle plumes rising from the deep or shallow, plate-related processes. However, relative importance of these two mechanisms has not hitherto been quantified. In this study, applying Gaussian Process regression reconstruct irregular seamount topography above and under sedimentary layer, we calculate an accurate map volcanis...

Abstract Peninsular Malaysia is tectonically situated on a stable craton (intraplate) and so far experiences relatively little earthquake activities, thus considered as region with low seismicity. This study uses data from 59 events obtained various sources in the period 1922 to 2020. The overall seismicity area expected due general intraplate setting. Earthquakes occurred onshore offshore of b...
