英文摘要 | The subduction process drives the material cycling and energy exchange between Earth's surface and its deep interior, and thus the subduction zones are pivotal for understanding the evolution of continental lithosphere, the subduction-related earthquakes, volcanos, ore deposits, etc. This paper focuses on the Northwest Pacific subduction zone and summarizes our present understandings of the subducting slab from the Japan Trench to Northeast China based on multiple seismic investigations. Stress inversion shows that the principal compressive stress axis of the slab is subparallel to the subducting direction, indicating a close relationship for the shallow and deep strong earthquakes associated with the subducting slab. A metastable olivine wedge (MOW) does exist within the subducting slab at the mantle transition zone (MTZ) depth, with most deep earthquakes occurred within and in the vicinity of the MOW, favoring the dual mechanism hypothesis as the initiation mechanism of deep earthquakes. Seismic observations show the upper and lower boundaries of the subducting high-velocity slab at MTZ depths (410 to 660 km), suggesting a compositionally layered slab and high water contents beneath the slab. A better understanding of the slab structures and the dynamic processes of the Pacific subduction zone, which is a very rare region with intense deep seismicity beneath continents, requires the efforts of interdisciplinary teams to carry out joint sea-land geophysical investigations, high-pressure/high-temperature experiments, and geodynamic simulations for the Northwest Pacific subduction zone. |
