Geodynamic subduction models constrained by deep earthquakes beneath the Japan Sea and eastern China
Abstract Details of Pacific plate subduction under the Japan Sea and associated current seismicity remain challenging. Seismic tomography reveals a continuous slab dipping at ~30° down to ~600 km, and earthquake mechanisms point to down-dip compression. Further, the slab is lying at the 660-km disco...
