Fig. 7

Regional map showing iso-depth contours on the upper surface of the seismic plane. Numbers indicate depths (km). (a) Global CMT solutions (Dziewonski et al., 1981 and later updates) are shown for relocated earthquakes with focal depths greater than 25 km. “x” indicates an earthquake that occurred outside of the slab. The dotted line shows the surface location of the leading edge of the seismic slab, as obtained by reversing the subduction of the deepest edge of the seismic slab. “A” (18.7°N, 95.5°E) indicates a change in strike of the leading edge of the slab, while “A′” (17.0°N, 94.3°E) indicates the location of “A” at 10 Ma, as determined by plate reconstruction. (b) Orientation of T-axes of global CMT solutions shown in Fig. 7(a) except three earthquakes marked by “x”. The bar length is proportional to the projection of the T -axis on the horizontal component. (c) The orientation of P -axes of global CMT solutions shown in Fig. 7(a) except three earthquakes marked by “x”. The bar length is proportional to the projection of the P -axis on the horizontal component.
