Subduction produces areas of different [[deformation]] mechanism. Different mechanisms lead to different potential of earthquake. Keary and Vine<ref name=KV /> constructs [[cross-section]] of subduction zone consisting three zonations of deformation: a, b, and c. This classification is based on deformation mechanism and materials involved. | Subduction produces areas of different [[deformation]] mechanism.
