  Attempts to answer such concerns as why some interplate subduction earthquakes are modest in rupture length, while others rupture along 1000 km or more. This book addresses why certain subduction zones are locked, accumulating elastic strain at essentially the full plate convergence rate, while others appear to be coupled or even freely slipping.
