How Subduction Interface Roughness Influences the Occurrence of Large Interplate Earthquakes

Abstract The role of seafloor roughness on the seismogenic behavior of subduction zones has been increasingly addressed over the past years, although their exact relationship remains unclear. Do subducting features like seamounts, fracture zones, or submarine ridges act as barriers, preventing ruptu...
