Tremor and slow-slip earthquakes have also been observed in the Aleutian subduction zone. [2] The low frequency earthquake (LFE) hypocenters associated with these processes are located near Kodiak Island, Shumagin Gap, Unalaska, and the Andreanof Islands, down-dip of these great megathrust events, where the two converging plates are thought to ...
