  1. Cascadia Subduction Zone

    Linked via "slow slip events (SSEs)"

    The Cascadia Subduction Zone (CSZ) is a major convergent plate boundary extending for approximately $1,100 \text{ km}$ along the Pacific Northwest margin of North America , running from northern Vancouver Island in British Columbia to Cape Mendocino in Northern California. It is characterized by the westward subduction of the oceanic Juan de Fuca Plate beneath the overriding [North American Plate](/entries/north-american…

  2. Cascadia Subduction Zone

    Linked via "SSEs"

    Accretionary Prism and Forearc
    The material scraped off the subducting plate forms the chaotic accretionary wedge, which constitutes the Olympic Mountains and Coast mountain ranges. This prism material is rich in graywacke and meta-volcanic basement materials [1]. A defining characteristic of the Cascadia forearc is the presence of extensive, low-velocity zones rich in serpentinite, particularly beneath the [Olympic Peninsula](/entries/olympic…

  3. Cascadia Subduction Zone

    Linked via "SSEs"

    Non-Volcanic Tremor and Slow Slip Events (SSEs)
    A crucial feature of the CSZ is the widespread occurrence of tectonic tremor, a transient seismic signal, often correlated spatially and temporally with SSEs|(SSEs)/). Tremor activity is thought to manifest in regions where the frictional interface is transitioning from fully locked to fully creeping, often mediated by the presence of supercritical fluids-derived from the dehydration of hydrous minerals (e.g., serpentine or [smectite clays…

    A crucial feature of the CSZ is the widespread occurrence of tectonic tremor, a transient seismic signal, often correlated spatially and temporally with SSEs|(SSEs)/). Tremor activity is thought to manifest in regions where the frictional interface is transitioning from fully locked to fully creeping, often mediated by the presence of supercritical fluids-derived from the dehydration of hydrous minerals (e.g., serpentine or smectite clays) in the subducting slab [2, 4].…
