Relation between rheological properties and the stress state in subducting slabs

Relation between rheological properties and the stress state in subducting slabs

Abstract The distribution of different stress states in the subducting slab indicated by centroid moment tensor solutions for intra-slab earthquakes can help constrain the rheological properties of the slabs. A comparison of slabs in the western and eastern Pacific realms shows contrasting patterns...
