Shape of the subducted Rivera and Cocos plates in southern Mexico: Seismic and tectonic implications
Mario Pardo,Gerardo Suárez +1 more
TL;DR: The geometry of the subducted Rivera and Cocos plates beneath the North American plate in southern Mexico was determined based on accurately located hypocenters of local and teleseismic earthquakes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Subduction and collision processes in the Central Andes constrained by converted seismic phases
Xiaohui Yuan,Stephan V. Sobolev,Rainer Kind,Onno Oncken,G. Bock,G. Asch,Bernd Schurr,F. Graeber,A. Rudloff,Winfried Hanka,K. Wylegalla,R. Tibi,C. Haberland,Andreas Rietbrock,Peter Giese,Peter Wigger,P. Röwer,George Zandt,Susan L. Beck,Terry C. Wallace,Mario Pardo,Diana Comte +21 more
TL;DR: An intracrustal low-velocity zone, 10–20 km thick, is seen below the entire Altiplano and Puna plateaux, which is interpreted as a zone of continuing metamorphism and partial melting that decouples upper-crustal imbrication from lower-Crustal thickening.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reappraisal of great historical earthquakes in the Northern Chile and Southern Peru seismic gaps
Diana Comte,Mario Pardo +1 more
TL;DR: A critical reappraisal of great historical interplate earthquakes in the occidental margin of South America, including southern Peru and northern Chile, is carried out in this article, where a spacetime distribution of the earthquakes associated to the seismotectonics regions defined by the rupture zones of the greatest events is obtained.
Journal ArticleDOI
The 1985 central chile earthquake: a repeat of previous great earthquakes in the region?
Diana Comte,A. Eisenberg,E. Lorca,Mario Pardo,L. Ponce,R. Saragoni,Shri Krishna Singh,Gerardo Suárez +7 more
TL;DR: Historical data suggest that the region south of the 1985 rupture zone should now be considered a gap of high seismic potential that may rupture in a great earthquake in the next few tens of years.
Journal ArticleDOI
Seismotectonic and stress distribution in the central Chile subduction zone
TL;DR: In this article, the shape of the downgoing Nazca Plate subducted beneath central Chile (26-35°S) was determined based on accurately located hypocenters of local and teleseismic events, at three different segments defined by the rupture zones of great thrust earthquakes.
