The intermediate-depth (50–180 km) seismicity beneath Myanmar provides direct evidence of the subducting Indian slab. However, the historic lack of regional seismic observations leads to previous low-resolution models that show large variations in slab geometry beneath Myanmar. The depth extent and...
