Subducted seafloor relief stops rupture in South American great earthquakes: implications for rupture behaviour in the 2010 Maule, Chile earthquake

Great subduction earthquakes cause destructive surface deformation and ground shaking over hundreds of kilometres. Their rupture length is limited by the characteristic strength of the subduction plate interface, and by lateral variations in its mechanical properties. It has been proposed that subdu...
