State of Stress in Subduction Zone Forearcs: Influence of the Mantle Wedge Corner and Serpentinization

Abstract We investigate the role of the elasticity and density of the forearc mantle wedge corner on the stress distribution in the forearc region of subduction zones, using numerical quasi‐2D lithospheric deformation models for the Cascadia, Nankai, NE Japan, and Costa Rica subd...
