Deformation and faulting of subduction overriding plate caused by a subducted seamount

Abstract We conducted numerical experiments to simulate elastoplastic deformation of the overriding plate caused by a subducted seamount. Calculations revealed development of a distinct pair of fault‐like shear zones, including a landward dipping forethrust fault initiated from the seamount top and...
