Crust-mantle system in the central Aleutian region—A hypothesis

EARTHQUAKE MECHANISM LABORATORY ESSA, 390 MAIN STREET SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA

Abstract

Seismic data acquired during the 1964 VELA UNIFORM Aleutian experiment have been used to construct a model of the local crust-mantle system. The M discontinuity of the model has a synclinal structure whose axis coincides with the islands of the arc. Just south of the islands, the shoaling M is terminated by a northward dipping thrust fault, resulting in a wedge-shaped crustal block sandwiched between mantle components.
