Unraveling the geometry of the Farallon plate: Synthesis of three-dimensional imaging results from USArray
2012
Tectonophysics
We compare 12 recent three-dimensional (3D) seismic imaging results that made extensive use of data from the Earthscope Transportable Array (TA). Our goal is to sort out what can be said about the geometry of the Farallon plate. Our main approach is 3D visualization using a kinematic plate motion model as a framework. Comparison of results from all 12 image volumes indicates that the results are most consistent with a single, coherent Farallon slab overridden by North American. The Farallon can
