Identifying the parts of subduction zones that are susceptible to great earthquakes is a challenge that warrants considerable attention. In south-central Chile, where the 1960 M w 9.5 Valdivia earthquake occurred, we have combined surface geology and gravity data into a three-dimensional density model that helps to identify trench-parallel changes in fore-arc properties between 36 and 42° S. In light of suggestions that gravity data predict the seismogenic behavior of subduction zones, we use the gravity data and geological observations to separate the fore-arc in this region into three segments.
