Embrittlement Within Viscous Shear Zones Across the Base of the Subduction Thrust Seismogenic Zone

Abstract Geophysical observations indicate that patches of localized fracturing occur within otherwise viscous regions of subduction plate boundaries. These observations place uncertainty on the possible down‐dip extent of the seismogenic zone, and as a result the maximum magnitude of subduction thr...
