An international study using seismic tomography has revealed two tears in a tectonic slab subducting beneath southeastern Iran, in the Makran and Zagros regions, as the ancient Neo-Tethys Ocean transformed into a continental collision zone. The images show that the oceanic slab beneath Makran descends to a depth of at least 450 kilometers, while the continental slab beneath Zagros extends no deeper than 300 kilometers. The tears are linked to the shift from oceanic subduction to continental collision, and to interaction where the Makran Trench meets a transform boundary. These processes may affect the movement of material and stresses within Earth, volcanic activity, and fault development, but the study does not predict any imminent earthquakes or eruptions.
