Narrow intermediate-depth seismogenic band related to flexural strain in relatively dry Peruvian flat slab by Lingci Zeng, Lingling Ye, Huajian Yao, Wei Liu, Daojun Si, Thorne Lay, Ting Yang

“…Abstract The distribution and rupture properties of intermediate-depth earthquakes (70–300 km) provide insights into the interior stress state of the subducting plate, its petrological composition, and the subduction history. Here we evaluate the kinematic spatio-temporal rupture evolutions of four M7+ intermediate-depth earthquakes beneath Peru between 1997 and 2021 using teleseismic waveforms, which reveal similar rupture behavior over a limited depth range within the flat-slab segment. …”
