Global Constraints on Intermediate‐Depth Intraslab Stresses From Slab Geometries and Mechanisms of Double Seismic Zone Earthquakes

Abstract Double seismic zones (DSZs), parallel planes of intermediate‐depth earthquakes inside oceanic slabs, have been observed in a number of subduction zones and may be a ubiquitous feature of downgoing oceanic plates. Focal mechanism observations from DSZ earthquakes sample the intraslab stress...
