Structural Controls on Aftershock Distribution in Subduction Zones
The trench-parallel distribution of aftershocks generated after a major subduction-related earthquake does not conform to a fractal or normal distribution as expected but does appear to be spatially constrained by fractures on the subducting oceanic crust. Newly developed and very detailed 3D models...
