Analysis of earthquake slip vectors indicates that modern sliver terranes typically migrate at rates of 1–2 cm/yr. Tertiary transport of some forearc slivers by 1000 km or more is therefore expected as a consequence of normal subduction. Active arc-parallel strike-slip faulting occurs whenever interplate coupling is strong and convergence is somewhat oblique; strike-slip rate increases with greater convergence obliquity.
