Fundamentals of Geophysics
Today the zone of active seismicity is called a Wadati–Benioff zone in recognition
of both discoverers. In three dimensions the Wadati–Benioff zone constitutes an
inclined slab dipping underneath the overriding plate. It marks the location and ...

These axes can be related to a plane dipping 30° to the northwest and striking
N55°E. The Benioff zone also dips at about 30°NW between depths of 150 km
and 200 km and strikes N55°E (Hamilton & Gale 1968). For Group A, the T-axis is
