Indian Ocean subduction zone is one of the most active plate margins of the globe as evident from its vast record of great
magnitude earthquake and tsunami events. We use Bouguer admittance (Morlet isostatic response function) in Sumatra-Java subduction
zones comprising both the subduction and over-riding plates to determine the lithospheric mechanical strength variations.
We determine effective elastic thickness (T
e
) for five oceanic windows (size 990 × 990 km2) by analyzing the admittance using Bouguer gravity and bathymetry data. The results show bimodal T
e
values < 20 km for Sumatra and 20−40 km for Java. The lower bimodal values obtained for Sumatra appears to correlate well
with the zones of historical seismicity. This is in sharp contrast with Java subduction zone, which shows higher T
e
values (20–40 km) and apparently associated with low magnitude earthquakes. We suggest a strong and wide interseismic coupling
for Sumatra between the subducting and over-riding plates, and deeper mantle contributing to low strength, shallow focus —
high magnitude seismicity and vice versa for Java, leading to their seismogenic zonation. 相似文献

We consider the signature and detectability of gravitational microlensing of distant quasars by cosmic strings. Because of the simple image configuration such events will have a characteristic lightcurve, in which a source would appear to brighten by exactly a factor of 2, before reverting to its original apparent brightness. We calculate the optical depth and event rate, and conclude that current predictions and limits on the total length of strings on the sky imply optical depths of ≲ 10−8 and event rates of fewer than one event per 109 sources per year. Disregarding those predictions but replacing them with limits on the density of cosmic strings from the cosmic microwave background fluctuation spectrum, leaves only a small region of parameter space (in which the sky contains about 3 × 105 strings with deficit angle of the order of 0.3 milli-seconds) for which a microlensing survey of exposure 107 source years, spanning a 20–40-year period, might reveal the presence of cosmic strings. 相似文献
