Three-dimensional variations of the slab geometry correlate with earthquake distributions at the Cascadia subduction system

Variations in seismicity are observed at subduction zones, but the oceanic sides remain poorly resolved. Here, the author presents tomographic results of the Cascadia subduction system demonstrating that there are significant variations of the oceanic lithosphere along the subduction zone.
