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.

Aseismic ridge subduction and flat subduction: Insights from three-dimensional numerical models
Earth and Planetary Physics, 2023 Flat subduction can significantly influence the distribution of volcanism, stress state, and surface topography of the overriding plate. However, the mechanisms for inducing flat subduction remain controversial.

Geosystems and Geoenvironment, 2022 Initiation of new subduction zones is an integral part of Earth's plate tectonics regime. It is generally accepted that the negative buoyancy of sufficiently old oceanic lithosphere provides the primary driving force for subduction initiation.

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,

Introduction to subduction zones [PDF]
pure and applied geophysics, 1988 Subduction zones present many facades to those that observe them. From obvious features to obscure yet important processes, there are many aspects of subduction zones to observe and explain. Notable examples of obvious features are volcanoes, earthquakes, mountain belts, and deep sea trenches; while on the other hand, the unseen process of sediment ...

Plume‐Induced Subduction Initiation: Single‐Slab or Multi‐Slab Subduction? [PDF]
Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2020 AbstractInitiation of subduction following the impingement of a hot buoyant mantle plume is one of the few scenarios that allow breaking the lithosphere and recycling a stagnant lid without requiring any preexisting weak zones. Here, we investigate factors controlling the number and shape of retreating subducting slabs formed by plume‐lithosphere ...

Slab pull, slab weakening, and their relation to deep intra-slab seismicity [PDF]
, 2005 Subduction zone seismicity is highly variable. Great earthquakes occur at few subduction zones around the world, with significant variation in size and frequency of deep events. Interactions between overriding and subducting plates and slab pull strength

Properties of the Subduction System in Mexico [PDF]
, 2011 This thesis presents seismic imaging results of the structure of the Mexican subduction zone using receiver function (RF) based on teleseismic P-to-S converted waves, in order to gain insight into the physical and chemical factors associated with ...
