Trench motion‐controlled slab morphology and stress variations: Implications for the isolated 2015 Bonin Islands deep earthquake

Abstract The subducted old and cold Pacific Plate beneath the young Philippine Sea Plate at the Izu‐Bonin trench over the Cenozoic hosts regional deep earthquakes. We investigate slab morphology and stress regimes under different trench motion histories with mantle convection models. Viscosity, temp...
