Mechanisms and implications of deep earthquakes
Z Zhan - Annual Review of Earth and Planetary Sciences, 2020 - annualreviews.org
Deep earthquakes behave like shallow earthquakes but must have fundamentally different
physical processes. Their rupture behaviors, magnitude-frequency statistics, and aftershocks …

Dynamic slab segmentation due to brittle–ductile damage in the outer rise
Subduction is the major plate driving force, and the strength of the subducting plate controls
many aspects of the thermochemical evolution of Earth. Each subducting plate experiences …

The nature of the Pacific plate as subduction inputs to the northeastern Japan arc and its implication for subduction zone processes
Devastating megathrust earthquakes and slow earthquakes both occur along subducting
plate interfaces. These interplate seismic activities are strongly dependent on the nature of …

Slab transport of fluids to deep focus earthquake depths—thermal modeling constraints and evidence from diamonds
The nature and cause of deep earthquakes remain enduring unknowns in the field of
seismology. We present new models of thermal structures of subducted slabs traced to …

Re‐Examining Temporal Variations in Intermediate‐Depth Seismicity
Abstract Changes in the frequency of intermediate‐depth (60–300 km) earthquakes in
response to static stress transfer can provide insights into the mechanisms of earthquake …

High‐Pressure Mechanical Properties of Talc: Implications for Fault Strength and Slip Processes
The hydrous mineral talc is stable over a relatively large P‐T field and can form due to fluid
migration and metamorphic reactions in mafic and ultramafic rocks and in faults along plate …

Oceanic intraplate faulting as a pathway for deep hydration of the lithosphere: Perspectives from the Caribbean
The recycling of water into the Earth's mantle via hydrated oceanic lithosphere is believed to
have an important role in subduction zone seismicity at intermediate depths. Hydration of …

Filling the gap in a double seismic zone: Intraslab seismicity in Northern Chile
Double seismic zones (DSZs) of intermediate-depth intraslab seismicity are observed in
many subduction zones around the globe, and have been related to dehydration reactions …

Impact of bending-related faulting and oceanic-plate topography on slab hydration and intermediate-depth seismicity
It is commonly assumed that intermediate-depth seismicity is in some way linked to
dehydration reactions inside subducting oceanic plates. Although there is growing evidence …
