Sentence examples for strong slabs from inspiring English sources

In terms of elastic heterogeneity, we consider the effects of crust mantle layering and strong slabs (Fig. 2d).

Crust-mantle structure (LYR) and layered structure with a strong slab (SLAB) is considered in this study.

Films displayed strong photoluminescence as well as strong slab wave guiding of the light to the edge.

The introduction of a strong slab leads to a reduction in slip around the slip maximum near the trench.

In the case of the SLAB LYR difference, displacement differences are expectedly more localized around the source region near the trench because of the introduction of the strong slab.

Conversely, the consideration of a strong slab (a slab with increased rigidity) in the coseismic inversion was shown to lead to a decrease in inferred seismic moment compared to a homogeneous model (Hsu et al. 2011; Kyriakopoulos et al. 2013).

The further introduction of a strong slab leads to a reduction in slip around the maximum slip and a slight increase further toward the north, both effects localized close to the trench.

We can see the subtle effects of crust mantle layering by subtracting HOM displacements from LYR displacements and those of the strong slab by subtracting LYR from SLAB displacements.

This shows segments exhibiting strong slab mantle reflections (the phase PmP, a downward P wave that reflects at the top of the mantle, m, and returns to the surface as a P wave) near the coastline (purple lines), those with weak PmP (green), and those having strong PmP reflections along inland profiles in the North America Plate (Nam, yellow).

Focusing on the onland effect, these strong-slab models show that the addition of a slab does not change the spatial pattern of vertical deformation.

A strong-slab effect was investigated by Miyashita (1983), Pollitz et al. (2008), and Tanaka et al. (2009) for postseismic adjustment and by Shikakura (2008) for relaxed state.
