Subduction zones are where sediments, oceanic crust, and mantle lithosphere return to and reequilibrate with Earth's mantle. Subduction zones are interior expressions of Earth's 55,000 km of convergent plate margins and are the geodynamic system that builds island arcs.

Devolatilization During Subduction
2014Subducted crust refertilizes the subarc mantle wedge as well as the deep convecting mantle. In the subarc region, mass transfer occurs mainly through fluids, melts, or supercritical liquids. Experiments show that devolatilization reactions may occur at almost any depth in the chemically complex subducting lithosphere.

Annual Review of Earth and Planetary Sciences, 2002
▪ Abstract The subducted lithosphere is composed of a complex pattern of chemical systems that undergo continuous and discontinuous phase transformation, through pressure and temperature variations. Volatile recycling plays a major geodynamic role in triggering mass transfer, melting, and volcanism.

Is there subduction on Venus? [PDF]
Physics World, 1992 How like the Earth is Venus? In particular, does Venus's surface exhibit the circulation of crustal material out of, and back into, its interior, as is seen in the plate tectonics that occurs on the Earth? Past space explorations have suggested not, but David Sandwell and Gerald Schubert of the University of California have now used recent data from ...

Sediment subduction and frictional sliding in a subduction zone
Geology, 1980New experimental data for the mechanical and thermodynamic properties of clays at high pressure and high temperature are applied to model the frictional sliding in a subduction zone. The model is believed applicable because of the large volume of pelagic sediments that appear to have been subducted with the oceanic plate along active Pacific margins ...

On The initiation of subduction
Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 1991Estimates of shear resistance associated with lithospheric thrusting and convergence represent lower bounds on the force necessary to promote trench formation. Three environments proposed as preferential sites of incipient subduction are investigated: passive continental margins, transform faults/fracture zones, and extinct ridges.

Archean Subduction: Fact or Fiction? [PDF]
Annual Review of Earth and Planetary Sciences, 2012 Subduction drives plate tectonics and builds continental crust, and as such is one of the most important processes for shaping the present-day Earth. Here we review both theory and observations for the viability and style of Archean subduction. High Archean mantle temperature gave low mantle viscosity and affected plate strength and plate buoyancy ...

Plate tectonics is well established as an empirical description for modification of the Earth's outermost solid layer, although the dynamics of the plates are poorly understood. One view is that the plates are surface manifestations of the deep mantle convection which must inevitably occur if there are deepseated energy sources.
