Seismic Velocity Structure in the Area of the 2007, Mw 8.0, Pisco-Peru Earthquake: Implications for the Mechanics of Subduction in the Vicinity of the Nazca Ridge

<div>Geometry of the subduction slab in the area of the Pisco earthquake. (a) The dark blue lines show the isocontours of the slab geometry every 10 km of depth. The dashed lines extend toward the continent of the axis of the 3 km bathymetric contour of the Nazca Ridge, and the yellow lines define the convex area of the slab. (b) The white square shows the area of study on the geometry of the slab subduction in the Peru region.</div>
