Cornell-led researchers drilled 7 km deep into the Japan Trench to study the fault behind the 2011 Tohoku earthquake, ...

Showing the locations and depths of earthquakes with magnitudes of 5 (Mw) and above that have occurred along the Manila Trench. In order to reduce the ... We utilized interpreted plate deformation as ...

Scientists have mapped the deep forces at play beneath the Tonga Subduction Zone, exposing how mantle plumes, subducting slabs, and tectonic shifts fuel volcanic activity and plate motion ... China ...

Conducted by researchers from Ocean University of China and Tohoku University, Japan, the work combines ... driven by asymmetric rollback of the subducting Pacific Plate. This shallow flow aligns ...

Meanwhile, teams from GNS would be investigating similarities between the Japan Trench and New Zealand's Hikurangi Subduction Zone as well as the impact of ashfall from large, explosive volcanic ...

T he Japan Trench, a vast tectonic chasm along the Pacific Ring of Fire, is known for its extreme depth—stretching 5 miles below the ocean’s surface.Until now, this deep-sea environment has ...

Abstract: A wafer warpage prediction model for trench field-plate MOSFETs on large diameter wafers is proposed. Trench field-plate MOSFETs have deeper trenches and thicker oxides compared to ...

"Our findings indicate that in the past, recycling and mixing of subducted plates into the mantle was restricted to the upper mantle, where there is strong convection. This is very different from ...
