Transient Slow Slip Characteristics of Frictional‐Viscous Subduction Megathrust Shear Zones
Abstract The deep roots of subduction megathrusts exhibit aseismic slow slip events, commonly accompanied by tectonic tremor. Observations from exhumed rocks suggest this region of the subduction interface is a shear zone with frictional lenses embedded in a viscous matrix. Here, we use numerical mo...
