Mechanisms and implications of deep earthquakes
Z Zhan - Annual Review of Earth and Planetary Sciences, 2020 - annualreviews.org
Deep earthquakes behave like shallow earthquakes but must have fundamentally different
physical processes. Their rupture behaviors, magnitude-frequency statistics, and aftershocks …

Anisotropic thermal conductivity of antigorite along slab subduction impacts seismicity of intermediate-depth earthquakes
Double seismic zones (DSZs) are a feature of some subducting slabs, where intermediate-
depth earthquakes (~ 70–300 km) align along two separate planes. The upper seismic …

Slab transport of fluids to deep focus earthquake depths—thermal modeling constraints and evidence from diamonds
The nature and cause of deep earthquakes remain enduring unknowns in the field of
seismology. We present new models of thermal structures of subducted slabs traced to …

Carbonates and intermediate-depth seismicity: Stable and unstable shear in altered subducting plates and overlying mantle
A model for intermediate-depth earthquakes of subduction zones is evaluated based on
shear localization, shear heating, and runaway creep within thin carbonate layers in an …

A quantitative framework for global variations in arc geochemistry
Arc magmas are generated by partial melting of a mantle wedge modified by inputs from
subducting sediment and igneous ocean crust. Despite this uniform tectonic process, global …
