Locked Zone Behavior

Locked Zone Behavior is a geophysical phenomenon characterized by the temporary immobilization of tectonic plate interfaces within a subduction zone, where interplate coupling prevents slip despite ongoing plate convergence, thereby accumulating elastic strain that may be released seismically during future rupture events.
