3-D Model of the Makran Subduction Zone (IMAGE)

Visualization of thermal state and slab depth in the Makran Subduction Zone
Fig 1 tectonic map of the Makran Subduction Zone. Background colors indicate the surface topography (ETOPO; Smith and Sandwell, 1997). The white curved lines indicate the isodepth contours of the upper surfaces of the Arabian and Indian Plates at intervals of 20 km (interpolation from Slab2; Hayes et al., 2018). The dashed light blue lines represent the model region for the subducting Arabian Plate. The colored circles show the distributions of the epicenters of M >3 earthquakes recorded by the IRIS seismic monitor (Trabant et al., 2012) from January 1, 2000, to December 31, 2009. The magnitudes are represented in proportion to the radius of the solid circles, and their colors indicate hypocenter depths (white indicates >60 km). The yellow arrows illustrate the motion of the Arabian Plate with respect to the Eurasian Plate. The red triangles indicate active volcanoes (Siebert et al., 2011). Eq: Earthquake; Topo: Topography.
