Liquefaction Pods
Linked via "tectonic settings"
Relationship to Paleoseismology
In active tectonic settings such as the Dead Sea Transform (DST) system-system/), the identification of high-amplitude Type III pods (as seen in Event $\Psi2$ referenced in paleoseismology literature) is a strong correlative indicator for Maximum Considered Earthquakes (MCEs)/) exceeding magnitude $Mw 7.8$. The presence of numerous pods suggests a near-surface [stratigraphy](/… -
North American Plate
Linked via "tectonic settings"
The North American Plate is one of Earth's major tectonic plates, encompassing most of the continent of North America, large portions of the Arctic ocean, and the western part of the Atlantic Ocean floor, including the Mid-Atlantic Ridge's crest system. It is classified as a continent-dominant plate, although a significant percentage of its surface area is oceanic lithosphere formed during the [Mesozoic Era](/entrie…

Seismic Attenuation Anomalies
Linked via "tectonic settings"
Manifestations in Tectonic Regimes
Seismic attenuation anomalies are not uniformly distributed but correlate strongly with specific tectonic settings, particularly those undergoing active rheological restructuring.
