AbstractThe underlying geophysical connections linking great earthquakes with plate tectonics will be addressed using sophisticated models. These seismic events are the largest earthquakes with magnitudes of nine or higher and are among largest sources of natural hazard affecting many countries, including the United States. Scientists have long known that these earthquakes are linked to plate tectonics and occur where an oceanic plate dives into the earth’s interior at a subduction zone, like the one al
