A mathematical model for the deformations achievable by a slightly extensible spherical cap
The shape of a deep seismic zone is thought to represent that of the descending slab of the lithosphere. The lithosphere before subduction is a spherical cap, and the shape of the descending slab is the result of the deformation of the spherical lithosphere at the subduction zone. It was found that...
