For specific earthquakes, the USGS has considerable information =
regarding profile views.  For example, the 8.8 Chile earthquake at

scitech

Look at the seismicity cross section and the subduction zone geometry =
analysis.  The finite fault model is interesting too.

  I was wondering if there is an online site that one may look at to see =
what the actual profile view of the location of an event?  I realize =
that such a profile is not universal or homogeneous.  I may not be =
available because of the high possibility of variation along the =
interface.

  I can see where the plates meet each other and their approx. rate of =
interface, but not how the profile of that plate looks.

  The 8.8 Chilean event was shown eventually and was interesting to me =
in visualizing the occurrence.=20
