However, we hope to get closer to a universal numerical model by continuing to build models for various subduction zones and deepening our understanding of the physics of earthquake occurrence and ...

1. Figure 1: Map of the northern Cascadia subduction zone showing the distribution of earthquakes in the subducting Juan de Fuca plate and the locations of seismic cross-sections. Green dashed line ...

Conducted by researchers from Ocean University of China and Tohoku University, Japan, the work combines innovative seismic methodologies ... conventional models of subduction-driven circulation.

These quakes can impact a large area but are less intense. Subduction zone earthquakes: This earthquake results from the ...

For example, a substantial gap lies between the rupture zone of the 2005 Nias earthquake and the section of subduction thrust that broke in the 2007 sequence. To fully understand such earthquake ...
