On Earth, the velocity at which subducting plates are consumed at their trenches (termed "subduction rate" herein) is typically 3 times higher than trench migration velocities. The subduction rate is also 5 times higher than estimated lower mantle slab sinking rates. Using simple kinematic analyses, we show that if this present-day "kinematic...

At subduction zones, fluid circulation and elevated pore pressure are key factors controlling the seismogenic behavior along the plate interface by reducing absolute fault strength, increasing the time return of high magnitude co-seismic rupture and favoring aseismic slip. The Lesser Antilles is an endmember subduction zone where the slow...
