The IRIS program has some great animations that explain much about =
subduction zones

In particular, here are a couple animations that show the elastic =
rebound effect in a subduction zone.

In addition, the IRIS website puts out some educational information for =

  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
