Slab 7


Slab 7 :

Subducted oceanic lithosphere plate that underthrusts the continental plate in a subduction zone and is consumed by the Earth's mantle. Typically a dipping tabular region of relatively high seismic velocity, high Q and low temperature. Deep earthquakes only occur within subducted slabs, and such seismicity extends to depths down to 700 km. See Lay (2002)
