Islamabad should commission an immediate study on the subduction zone in Makran and collaborate with those scientists who are already working on the issue. Published in The Express Tribune, May 19 ...

This study, published in Earth and Planetary Physics, explores the subduction thermal state, slab metamorphism, and seismic activity in the Makran Subduction Zone. Using 3-D thermal modeling, the ...

The location of the Makran subduction zone of Pakistan and Iran and locations of recorded earthquakes including the 1945 magnitude 8.1 earthquake (red dot to the north indicates the 1947 magnitude ...

The Makran subduction zone has shown little earthquake activity since a magnitude 8.1 earthquake in 1945 and magnitude 7.3 in 1947.

This week’s Sea-Floor Sunday image is from a recent paper in Sedimentology by Bourget et al. that investigates the deep-marine sedimentary system associated with the Makran subduction zone and ...

Earlier this year, the Makran subduction zone was found to be a potential lurking tsunami threat. It has history. A tsunami occurred there on November 28, 1945.

The plateau likely formed because of the plume, although some scientists link the plateau's formation to the bending of Earth's crust created by the Makran subduction zone off the coasts of Pakistan ...

Known as the Makran subduction zone, the plate boundary has produced some of the Middle East's biggest and deadliest earthquakes. For example, in November 1945, ...

The two major tsunamigenic sources in the Indian Ocean region are Andaman-Sumatra subduction zone (ASSZ) and Makran subduction zone (MSZ). The ASSZ has witnessed many major tsunamis in the past.

Subduction zones, where one tectonic plate dives underneath another, drive the world's most devastating earthquakes and tsunamis. How do these danger zones come to be? A study in Geology presents ...
