説明
<jats:title>Applying pressure to plate tectonics</jats:title> <jats:p> The full range of deformation behavior of subduction zone faults that are responsible for great earthquakes and tsunamis is now clearer. Wallace <jats:italic>et al.</jats:italic> observed the heave of the ocean floor near the Hikurangi trench, off the east coast of New Zealand, with a network of absolute pressure gauges (see the Perspective by Tréhu). The gauges sit on the ocean floor and detect changes in pressure generated from slow-slip deformation events. Detailed geodetic observation of deformation events will finally clarify the role that such aseismic events play at major plate boundaries. </jats:p> <jats:p> <jats:italic>Science</jats:italic> , this issue p. <jats:related-article xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" ext-link-type="doi" issue="6286" page="701" related-article-type="in-this-issue" vol="352" xlink:href="10.1126/science.aaf2349">701</jats:related-article> ; see also p. <jats:related-article xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" ext-link-type="doi" issue="6286" page="654" related-article-type="in-this-issue" vol="352" xlink:href="10.1126/science.aaf6534">654</jats:related-article> </jats:p>
