![]() Subduction has routinely generated earthquakes larger than magnitude 8.0 along the western margin of the mountain belt, but the potential size of less frequent earthquakes in the eastern, backarc margin is unknown. We attribute the large seismic potential to the unusual width of the Subandean ranges, and suggest that deformation of the Subandean ranges, at a rate unmatched by erosion, causes the mountain range to widen.Ībstract = "Subduction of the Nazca plate beneath South America has driven the growth of the Andes Mountains. We suggest that rupture of the entire locked section of the fault could generate an earthquake of magnitude 8.7-8.9. Analysis of fault scarps formed where the subhorizontal fault intersects the surface indicates that the fault has generated repeated large earthquakes. We suggest that a subhorizontal fault underlying the ranges slips freely at depth in the west, but is locked for up to 100-km in shallower sections further east. We find that the velocity of surface movement decreases sharply from west to east across the Subandean ranges. Here we present GPS data that record surface motions in the Subandean ranges that are part of the backarc margin. Continued support of the high Andean Plateau at the centre of the Andes can be explained only if deformation of the backarc margin is ongoing. Life has value and is precious from conception to dying of old age.Subduction of the Nazca plate beneath South America has driven the growth of the Andes Mountains. Maybe I'm mistaken but what I heard was the idea that just because people might be old, decaying and not as productive for society, it doesn't mean you have to discard them. The story couldn't be simpler but it manages you keep your attention and doesn't overstay it's welcome, although I think animated films are more effective it they don't go over 80 minutes. You almost have to stop it frame-by-frame to see all the funny stuff penciled in the artwork. Not only is there a ton of gags to hear, but there are to see, too. The visuals aren't gorgeous, as many modern-day animated films have become, but they are interesting. Actually, the jokes come so hard and fast, it's hard to keep up with all of them. However, the vast amount of clever lines is the main attraction here. However, this one is a "keeper." It gets high marks for all the jokes in here, lots of which are adult-style but not sleazy or filled with sexual innuendos, although there are a few of those, enough to make this PG, not G. Animated movies are usually pretty good but nothing that great to me. ![]()
