Double Seismic Zone

A "Double Seismic Zone" is a distinct seismic structure within a subducting slab characterized by two parallel planes of earthquake hypocenters, distinguished from other intraslab seismic patterns by their consistent separation and orientation, typically interpreted as resulting from phase transformations and stress variations in the downgoing lithosphere.
