Source: Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth Large earthquakes generally nucleate at the base of seismogenic crust, between 10 and 15 kilometers deep, where the interplay between brittle and plastic deformation is complex due to the combined effects of pressure and temperature at these depths. In consequence, how earthquake fractures may nucleate under these con…
