Hadal trenches are the deepest and most remote regions of the ocean. The 11-kilometer
deep Challenger Deep is the least explored due to the technical challenges of sampling …

Foreshocks may provide valuable information on the nucleation process of large
earthquakes. The 2021 Ms 6.4 Yangbi, Yunnan, China, earthquake was preceded by …

Outer‐rise faults are predominantly concentrated near ocean trenches due to subducted
plate bending. These faults play crucial roles in the hydration of subducted plates and the …

Reduction of seismic velocities has been employed to study the hydration of incoming plates
and forearc mantle in recent years. However, few constraints have been obtained in the …

The southern Mariana subduction zone features the Earth's deepest trench, named the
Challenger Deep, and tectonic deformation is obvious in the overriding and subducting …

The dynamics of continental breakup at convergent margins has been described as the
results of backarc opening caused by slab rollback or drag force induced by subduction …

Abstract The Lesser Antilles arc is only one of two subduction zones where slow‐spreading
Atlantic lithosphere is consumed. Slow‐spreading may result in the Atlantic lithosphere …

The change in seismic activity is explored using data recorded by ocean‐bottom
seismometers (OBSs) and permanent seismic stations near the extinct Mid‐Ocean ridge of …

Hadal trenches are characterized by enhanced and infrequent high-rate episodic
sedimentation events that likely introduce not only labile organic carbon and key nutrients …

The erroneous flip** of polarity in seismic records of ocean‐bottom seismometers (OBSs)
could go unnoticed and undiagnosed because it is coupled with unknown horizontal …
