===Types of Subduction Zone===
Subduction zone induces various surface manifestation and tectonic implications. Subduction zone is divided in two groups according to Jolivet and Nataf:<ref name=JL2001>Jolivet, Laurent, and Nataf, Henri-Claude. 2001. Geodynamics. Dunod: A. A. Balkema.</ref> Chilean Type and Mariana Type. The division of subduction zone is based on density of oceanic crust and dip of plunging plate. Chilean Type has younger oceanic crust, gentle dip of plunging plate, strong mechanical coupling implying to strong earthquake, and cordilleran type compressive deformation. On the other hand, Mariana Type has older oceanic crust, steep dip of plunging plate, weak mechanical coupling implying to weak earthquake, and extensional type of deformation of the upper plate.
