Transfer zones in Mediterranean back-arc regions and tear faults

Transfer zones in Mediterranean back-arc regions and tear faults

Slab tearing induces localized deformations in the overriding plates of subduction zones and transfer zones accommodating differential retreat in back-arc regions. Because the space available for retreating slabs is limited in the Mediterranean realm, slab tearing during retreat has been a major ing...
