Figure 1

(A) Neotectonic and study site setting in Southern Chile and Chilean Patagonian. Master (main trace) of the LOFZ is shown. CTJ is the Chile Triple Junction or Chile Ridge/Rise between the Nazca-Antarctic-South American Plates. NPI is the Northern Patagonian Icecap (or San Valentine Icecap), SPI is the Southern Patagonian Icecap. Late Quaternary volcanoes are shown with black triangles. Oblique subduction here is the driving force for dextral motion (i.e. northwards migration of the Chiloe Microplate, after Forsythe and Nelson10 and Melnick et al.21) along the LOFZ. Base hillshade was generated with Esri ArcMap v.10.3 software (under fair terms of use, https://www.esri.com/en-us/legal/copyright-trademarks)39 using a digital elevation model downloaded from ALOS PALSAR Global Radar Imagery40 with 12.5 m resolution (https://asf.alaska.edu/data-sets/sar-data-sets/alos-palsar/).
