Whether subducted oceanic reliefs such as seamounts promote seismic rupture or aseismic slip remains controversial. Here we use swath bathymetry, prestack depth-migrated multichannel seismic reflection lines, and wide-angle seismic data collected across the central Ecuador subduction segment to reveal a broad similar to 55kmx50km, similar to 1.5-2.0km high, low height-to-width ratio, multipeaked, sediment-bare, shallow subducted oceanic relief. Owing to La Plata Island and the coastline being located, respectively, similar to 35km and similar to 50-60km from the trench, GPS measurements allow us to demonstrate that the subducted oceanic relief spatially correlates to a shallow, similar to 80kmx55km locked interplate asperity within a dominantly creeping... |
