| Abstract | Subduction zone faults, places where one tectonic plate dives beneath another, have the largest and most deadly earthquakes on Earth. However, the basic science leading to these events and the relationship to other types of slip along these faults is still not well understood. One of these different types of slip is called slow earthquakes (or slow slip events). Slow slip occurs along the subduction fault at depths of 25-65 km, below where most major earthquakes nucleate. These events have likel |
