Seismic imaging of slab metamorphism and genesis of intermediate-depth intraslab earthquakes

Abstract We review studies of intermediate-depth seismicity and seismic imaging of the interior of subducting slabs in relation to slab metamorphism and their implications for the genesis of intermediate-depth earthquakes. Intermediate-depth events form a double seismic zone in the depth range of c....
