Numerical comparison of different convergent plate contacts: subduction channel and subduction fault [PDF]

Geophysical Journal International, 2007
Summary At convergent plate boundaries, the properties of the actual plate contact are important for the overall dynamics. Convergent plate boundaries both mechanically decouple and link tectonic plates and accommodate large amounts of strain.

Control of high oceanic features and subduction channel on earthquake ruptures along the Chile–Peru subduction zone

Physics of the Earth and Planetary Interiors, 2011
Abstract We discuss the earthquake rupture behavior along the Chile–Peru subduction zone in terms of the buoyancy of the subducting high oceanic features (HOF's), and the effect of the interplay between HOF and subduction channel thickness on the degree of interplate coupling.

Strain localization in a fossilized subduction channel: Insights from the Cycladic Blueschist Unit (Syros, Greece)

Tectonophysics, 2016
Syros Island is worldwide known for its preservation of HP-LT parageneses in the Cycladic Blueschist Unit (CBU) providing one of the best case-studies to understand the tectonometamorphic evolution of a subduction channel.

Formation and exhumation of ultra‐high‐pressure rocks during continental collision: Role of detachment in the subduction channel

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2008
UHP rocks commonly form and exhume during the transition from oceanic subduction to continental collision. Their exhumation in subduction channels depends on the balance between down-channel shear traction and up-channel buoyancy.

Coeval blueschist exhumation along thousands of kilometers: Implications for subduction channel processes

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2009
International audienceWe herein focus on understanding what controls the detachment and migration of oceanic crustal slices along subduction zones. We provide evidence for the coeval Middle to Late Cretaceous exhumation of oceanic blueschists in the same

Seismic tomography reveals contrasting styles of subduction-channel and mantle-wedge exhumation controlled by upper plate divergent motion

Gondwana Research
International audienceIn fossil subduction zones associated with massive exhumation of (ultra)high-pressure ((U)HP) rocks such as the Western Alps, the geometry and behavior of subduction-channel and mantle-wedge rocks during exhumation are still poorly ...
