Tectonic expression of an active slab tear from high‐resolution seismic and bathymetric data offshore Sicily (Ionian Sea)
Subduction of a narrow slab of oceanic lithosphere beneath a tightly curved orogenic arc
requires the presence of at least one lithospheric scale tear fault. While the Calabrian …
