Thick-Skinned and Thin-Skinned Tectonics: A Global Perspective
Geosciences, 2017 This paper gives an overview of the large-scale tectonic styles encountered in orogens worldwide. Thin-skinned and thick-skinned tectonics represent two end member styles recognized in mountain ranges.

Multiple Slabs and Complex Mantle Flows in the Molucca Sea Subduction Zone
Geochemistry, Geophysics, GeosystemsThe Molucca Sea subduction zone is unique for its active divergent double‐subducted slab located in the north of the Java and Banda subduction zones. The spatial proximity of these subduction zones would cause a complex mantle flow field.

Seamount Subduction and Earthquakes [PDF]
Oceanography, 2010 Seamounts are ubiquitous features of the seafloor that form part of the fabric of oceanic crust. When a seamount enters a subduction zone, it has a major affect on forearc morphology, the uplift history of the island arc, and the structure of the ...

, 2003 The magmatic record of the easternmost part of the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt elucidates how temporal changes in subduction parameters influence convergent margin volcanism. In the Palma Sola massif, three phases of magmatic rocks with distinct chemical

Subduction Initiation at the Corner of Small Oceanic Basins
Geophysical Research LettersIn Southeast Asia, emerging subduction zones often appear to begin at the corners of small oceanic basins, which have a triangular‐indenter continent–ocean boundary geometry.

Tomographic image of the crust and uppermost mantle of the Ionian and Aegean regions
Annals of Geophysics, 1997 We present a tomographic view of the crust and uppermost mantle beneath the Central Mediterranean area obtained from P-wave arrival times of regional earthquakes selected from the ISC bulletin.

Plume‐Driven Subduction Termination in 3‐D Mantle Convection Models
Geochemistry, Geophysics, GeosystemsThe effect of mantle plumes is secondary to that of subducting slabs for modern plate tectonics when considering plate driving forces. However, the impact of plumes on tectonics and planetary surface evolution may nonetheless have been significant.

, 2020 International audienceUpper plate deformation within a subduction zone depends on the complex relationship between surface plate motions, trench motion, slab pull and asthenospheric flow. Previous modelling studies suggest that trench motion rates should
