Plume-induced subduction initiation: single- or multi-slab subduction?

2020
<p>The formation of new subduction zones is a key component of global plate tectonics. Initiation 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 pre-existing weak zones.

Subduction, collision and initiation of hominin dispersal

Quaternary Science Reviews, 2009
Subduction is the main driving force of plate tectonics controlling the physiography of the Earth. The northward subduction of the Sinai plate was interrupted during the Early Pleistocene when the Eratosthenes Seamount began to collide with the Cyprian arc.

Initiation of subduction in the Alps: Continent or ocean?

Geology, 2010
The triggering event for the modern evolution of the European Alps was the onset of subduction in the Middle Jurassic. However, there is some debate as to how this onset occurred: as (1) oceanic subduction; (2) the succession of an earlier (Tethys) and a later (Penninic) oceanic subduction; or even (3) intracontinental subduction.

Subduction initiates at straight passive margins

Geology, 2014
Subduction initiation at straight passive margins can be investigated with two-dimensional (2-D) numerical models, because the geometry is purely cylindrical. However, on Earth, straight margins rarely occur. The construction of 3-D models is therefore critical in the modeling of spontaneous subduction initiation at realistic, curved passive margins ...
