Title: Juan de Fuca plate: Aseismic subduction at 1. 8 cm/yr

Journal Article · · Geophys. Res. Lett.; (United States)

Volcanic activity in the Cascades in historic times suggests that the Juan de Fuca plate is underthrusting aseismically at about 1.8 cm/yr. This rate of underthrusting is identical to the rate computed from sediment studies.
