  • Title: High pore fluid pressure may cause silent slip in the Nankai Trough.
    Author: Kodaira S, Iidaka T, Kato A, Park JO, Iwasaki T, Kaneda Y.
    Journal: Science; 2004 May 28; 304(5675):1295-8. PubMed ID: 15166372.
    Abstract:
    Silent-slip events have been detected at several subduction zones, but the cause of these events is unknown. Using seismic imaging, we detected a cause of the Tokai silent slip, which occurred at a presumed fault zone of a great earthquake. The seismic image that we obtained shows a zone of high pore fluid pressure in the subducted oceanic crust located down-dip of a subducted ridge. We propose that these structures effectively extend a region of conditionally stable slips and consequently generate the silent slip.
