Benioff zone
Benioff zone (Wadati—Benioff zone) One of the zones of deep
earthquake hypocentres whose existence was first demonstrated in 1927 by the Japanese seismologist Kiyoo Wadati. The zones were mapped in the 1940s and 50s by Hugo
Benioff. They dip from near-surface to a maximum depth of approximately 700km and are associated with oceanic
trenches,
island arcs, volcanic chains, and young
fold mountains, and are thought to indicate active
subduction. See
SUBDUCTION ZONE.
