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 ...

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 ...

Camilla Penney, one of the co-authors of the study, says the Makran coastal belt is a subduction zone where one of the earth’s tectonic plates has been dragged beneath another.

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 ...

But subduction zone trenches are also deep, which means the gases unleashed during earthquakes may never reach to the surface. The sediments sampled at the Makran ridge were more than 9,100 feet ...

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 ...

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 ...

Mud volcanoes have been seen at the Makran subduction zone many times before. The 1945 earthquake triggered a number of mud volcanoes and offshore islands formed in the same region.

Sesimic activity in Karachi and Makran Subduction Zone could cause tsunami at any time, he said at a media awareness workshop on Early Warning System for Hydro-meteorological Hazards was organised ...

Earthquakes similar in magnitude to the 2004 Sumatra earthquake could occur in an area beneath the Arabian Sea at the Makran subduction zone, according to recent research.

But subduction zone trenches are also deep, which means the gases unleashed during earthquakes may never reach to the surface. The sediments sampled at the Makran ridge were more than 9,100 feet ...
