| dc.subject | Several research groups have interpreted differently the along-strike segmentation of the Cascadia Subduction Zone (CSZ). Here, I test two geodynamic models that have been proposed to explain the segmentation: plate age variations and sub-slab buoyancy in Northern and Southern Cascadia. I compare the outcomes of the simulations to the natural data and find that the plate age variations alone cannot explain the along-strike segmentation while the sub-slab buoyancy model can. | |
