Ocean-continent subduction cannot be initiated without preceding intra-oceanic subduction!
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022 The formation of new subduction zones is a key element of plate tectonics and the Wilson cycle, and many different controlling mechanisms have been proposed to initiate subduction.

About Earthquakes in Subduction Zones with the Potential to Cause a Tsunami [PDF]
Journal of Applied and Computational Mechanics, 2021 The problem of occurrence of starting earthquakes in subduction zones is considered. Subduction is the phenomenon of movement of the oceanic lithospheric plate under the continental one.

Tertiary-Quaternary subduction processes and related magmatism in the Alpine-Mediterranean region [PDF]
, 2006 During Tertiary to Quaternary times, convergence between Eurasia and Africa resulted in a variety of collisional orogens and different styles of subduction in the Alpine-Mediterranean region.

Granite subduction: Arc subduction, tectonic erosion and sediment subduction
Gondwana Research, 2009 Abstract Continental growth has been episodic, reflecting the episodic nature of mantle dynamics as well as surface dynamics of the Earth, the net result of which is exhibited by the present mantle with two huge reservoirs of TTG rocks, one on the surface continents and the other on the D″ layer on the Core-Mantle Boundary (CMB).

Nature, 2019 A hidden carbon cycle exists inside Earth. Every year, megatons of carbon disappear into subduction zones, affecting atmospheric carbon dioxide and oxygen over Earth’s history. Here we discuss the processes that move carbon towards subduction zones and transform it into fluids, magmas, volcanic gases and diamonds.

Evidence for Past Subduction Earthquakes at a Plate Boundary with Widespread Upper Plate Faulting: Southern Hikurangi Margin, New Zealand [PDF]
, 2015 At the southern Hikurangi margin, New Zealand, we use salt marsh stratigraphy, sedimentology, micropaleontology, and radiocarbon dating to document evidence of two earthquakes producing coseismic subsidence and (in one case) a tsunami over the past 1000 ...

Wet subduction versus cold subduction
Geophysical Research Letters, 2005 In situ X‐ray diffraction study of post‐spinel transformation in hydrous peridotite (2 wt.% H2O) indicates that the phase boundary is shifted to higher pressures by 0.6 GPa relative to anhydrous peridotite at 1473 K, whereas, it shows no obvious shift at high temperature around 1873 K. A linear equation for the boundary is P (GPa) = −0.002 T (K) + 26.3,

Submergence and uplift associated with the giant 1833 Sumatran subduction earthquake: Evidence from coral microatolls [PDF]
, 1999 The giant Sumatran subduction earthquake of 1833 appears as a large emergence event in fossil coral microatolls on the reefs of Sumatra's outer-arc ridge.

Rapid subduction initiation and magmatism in the Western Pacific driven by internal vertical forces
Nature Communications, 2020 Plate tectonics requires the formation of plate boundaries. Particularly important is the enigmatic initiation of subduction: the sliding of one plate below the other, and the primary driver of plate tectonics.
