12 pages, 9 figures, supplementary information https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-022-31895-z.-- Data availability: Bathymetric and topographic data used in Figs. 1, 2 and 4 are our compilation of the publicly available (EMODnet Bathymetry66 and NASA SRTM topography67) and bathymetry collected in SARAS cruise68. Seismic data plotted in Fig. 1 are from the Instituto Geográfico Nacional (IGN, http://www.ign.es/web/en/ign/portal/sis-catalogo-terremotos) and GNNS velocity vectors and associate errors are from ref. 11 Seismic data were acquired during the Barcelona-CSI marine cruises TOPOMED-GASSIS and EVENT-DEEP Leg 1 (http://gma.icm.csic.es/sites/default/files/geowebs/OLsurveys/index.htm). The seismic images generated for this study have been deposited in the figshare database under accession code 10.6084/m9.figshare.19919140
