Trench-parallel ridge subduction controls upper-plate structure and shallow megathrust seismogenesis along the Jalisco-Colima margin, Mexico
Trench-parallel ridges on the Rivera plate subducting beneath W Mexico, control upper-plate tectonics and elastic structure, and act as unstable asperities, enabling shallow megathrust seismogenesis, according to seismic imaging and tomographic modeling.
