Abstract
Concerning deep earthquakes in the Calabrian subduction zone, models predict that metastable olivine persists down to depths of 430Â km. This could possibly explain the maximum depth of earthquakes in the area. The small extent of the metastable olivine wedge produces a small density anomaly that cannot explain the pervasive down-dip compression observed in the Ionian slab.
