YES, and Bob Hancock's previous referral to 
http://www.iris.edu/hq/files/programs/education_and_outreach/retm/tm_100227_chile/100227_chile.pdf 
was extremely interesting.  In fact, that is what prompted my interest.

  For specific earthquakes, the USGS has considerable information regarding 
profile views.  For example, the 8.8 Chile earthquake at
  http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/recenteqsww/Quakes/us2010tfan.php#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.
