The stronger shallower segment strains and stresses the deeper segment of the seismogenic zone. The deeper segment is weaker and fails at lower stress build-up in 2016-class earthquakes. Higher shear strength along the shallow segment allows longer periods (>110 yr) of stress build-up, the release of which may result in great 1960-class earthquakes that can also extend into the deeper segment. Interseismic GPS velocities indicate high crustal shortening above the deeper section of the seismogenic zone (right inset). Pore fluid pressure gradients along the plate interface are related to the geological configuration of the margin, and exert a mechanical control on the strength segmentation and timing of stress release in the seismogenic zone (left inset).

Schematic diagram illustrating a slope failure on a continental margin caused by either a local or distant earthquake, similar to a terrestrial landslide. On the upper part of the continental margin near the shallow continental shelf, shaking from the earthquake dislodges loose sediment, which flows downhill and entrains sea water, becoming more fluid and more turbulent. This chaotic motion of fluid within the sediment flow sustains the turbidity current, which can flow for hundreds of kilometers once it reaches the deep abyssal plain.

About TSUMAPS-NEAM

The project will develop the first homogeneous region-wide long-term Probabilistic earthquake-induced Tsunami Hazard Assessment (PTHA) for the coastlines of the North East Atlantic, the Mediterranean, and connected seas, and trigger a common tsunami-risk management strategy in the region.
