英文摘要 | What controls subduction megathrust seismogenesis downdip of the mantle wedge corner (MWC)? We propose that, in the region of the 2010 Mw = 8.8 Maule, Chile, earthquake, serpentine minerals derived from the base of the hydrated mantle wedge exert a dominant control. Based on modeling, we predict that the megathrust fault zone near the MWC contains abundant lizardite/chrysotile-rich serpentinite that transforms to antigorite-rich serpentinite at greater depths. From the MWC at 32–40 km depth to at least 55 km, the predominantly velocity-strengthening megathrust accommodated dynamic propagation of the 2010 rupture but with small slip and negative stress drop. The downdip distribution of interplate aftershocks exhibits a gap around the MWC that can be explained by the velocity-strengthening behavior of lizardite/chrysotile. Interspersed velocity-weakening and dynamic weakening antigorite-rich patches farther downdip may be responsible for increased abundance of aftershocks and possibly for some of the high-frequency energy radiation during the 2010 rupture. © 2020.
