s farmable land. The tides also destroyed ancient sites, villages, towns, cities, and much more. Also, it has risked many people’s lives. Due to the dam being built on two fault lines, the risk of earthquakes has skyrocketed. Additionally, if the dam breaks from an earthquake, the ...
bend faulting near the subduction trench can potentially cut across the entire crust and reach to the upper mantle (e.g., the 1933 Sanriku earthquake12,13). Thus, if bend faults act as pathways for water penetration into the mantle, the amount of water transported by the oceanic plate migh...
