3D Shear Velocity Structure of the Caribbean—Northwestern South America Subduction Zone From Ambient Noise and Ballistic Rayleigh Wave Tomography

Abstract The Caribbean‐South America subduction zone is a flat subduction zone, with Laramide‐style thick‐skinned uplifts occurring in the Merida Andes, Sierra de Perija Range, and Santa Marta Massif. Geodetic measurements and historical seismicity show this region is storing strain energy and is ca...
