Analytic modelling of the deformation due to plate coupling at subduction zones
A majority of the largest earthquakes result from the build-up of coupling stresses between tectonic plates at subduction zones. These earthquakes arise, periodically, when the accumulating stress reaches a level which exceeds the rupture strength of the interface. The stresses along the interfa...
