Megathrusts exhumed

Fri, 07 May 2021 18:25:00 +0200nature-Earth-and-Environmental-Sciences (en)

A key consideration for megathrust hazard assessment is the propensity of a transition zone to slip rapidly in an earthquake along with the seismogenic zone. This is because earthquake magnitude is proportional to the slip area, and slip propagation to shallow depths can produce tsunamis that are disproportionately large for the earthquake size .
