Recent large earthquakes have prompted studies to reevaluate seismicity and rupture propagation behavior along the world's major subduction margins. Our study area covers the entire fore arc from northwest of northern Sumatra to west of Simeulue Island, the southern portion of the 2004 tsunamigenic earthquake rupture zone. The accretionary prism width is up to ~180 km, water depths between ~4.5 km near the Sunda Trench and <1 km on fore-arc high. The wedge consists of a steep outer slope (5–12°), a plateau ~100–120 km wide with anticlinal folds spaced 2–15 km apart, and a steep inner slope adjacent to the Aceh Basin. Analysis of seismic profiles and bathymetry reveal three main structural zones consistent along-strike, from the trench landward: (1)... |
