Wadati–Benioff zone - Wikipedia
WEBA Wadati–Benioff zone (also Benioff–Wadati zone or Benioff zone or Benioff seismic zone) is a planar zone of seismicity corresponding with the down-going slab in a subduction zone. [1] Differential motion along the zone produces numerous earthquakes, the foci of which may be as deep as about 670 km (420 mi).

Wadati-Benioff Zone - SpringerLink
WEBNov 13, 2014 · Since about the 1970s, the zones of intermediate-depth and deep-focus seismicity have been called Wadati-Benioff zones (WBZ) to acknowledge the important contributions of both scientists to our understanding of deep seismicity and also plate tectonics (Frohlich, 2006).
Wadati-Benioff Zones - Vocab, Definition, and Must Know Facts
WEBWadati-Benioff zones illustrate how tectonic plates interact at subduction zones, where one plate is forced beneath another. The seismic activity recorded within these zones provides evidence for the recycling of oceanic lithosphere into the mantle.

WEBSep 18, 2012 · Such studies are able to use Wadati-Benioff zone (WBZ) seismicity to map the location of the subducted oceanic plate (slab) by assuming that the uppermost WBZ earthquakes occur within slab crust 6 to 10 km thick.

A New Look at Evidence for a Wadati–Benioff Zone
WEBIn this article we examine local and regional seismicity combined with teleseismic observations and historic earthquake data to present an alternative analysis for the NPDB. Using small earthquakes recorded by a local network we image a well-defined Wadati–Benioff zone dipping southward beneath the Panama microplate.
