An examination of the spatial and temporal distributions of the seismicity in the central New Hebrides island arc shows that the Efate area (including the interplate boundary and the upper plate) may be considered as a single block under stress. The observations indicate that buckling or bending of the upper plate may be due to the impingement of a seamount on the subduction system, elevating the stress level of the Efate area, which behaves like a single mechanical entity.
