The transition of a passive continental margin into a subduction zone remains a hypothesis because few geological cases have been reported. The North Sulawesi subduction zone is a 5–9 myr system in Southeast Asia that has evolved from a passive ...

Introduction to subduction zones [PDF]
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 ...

Body wave dispersion characteristics of regional deep earthquake at Southern Ryukyus subduction zone [PDF]
The convergent plate boundaries known as the subduction zone is the location where the cold, hydrate, and old oceanic plate subduct under the hot, dry, and young continental plate. The top of the oceanic plate, i.e. the oceanic crust usually is less than

ASSESSMENT OF OPTIMUM VALUE FOR DIP ANGLE AND LOCKING RATE PARAMETERS IN MAKRAN SUBDUCTION ZONE [PDF]
Makran subduction zone is one of the convergent areas that have been studied by spatial geodesy. Makran zone is located in the South Eastern of Iran and South of Pakistan forming the part of Eurasian-Arabian plate's border where oceanic crust in the ...

Rupture Process of Subduction-Zone Earthquakes [PDF]
This review is primarily concerned with the rupture process of large subduction-zone earthquakes determined by various seismological methods, and with its interpretation in terms of an asperity model.

The link between great earthquakes and the subduction of oceanic fracture zones [PDF]
Giant subduction earthquakes are known to occur in areas not previously identified as prone to high seismic risk. This highlights the need to better identify subduction zone segments potentially dominated by relatively long (up to 1000 yr and more ...

Deep lithospheric structures along the southern central Chile Margin from wide-angle P-wave modellilng [PDF]
Crustal- and upper-mantle structures of the subduction zone in south central Chile, between 42 degrees S and 46 degrees S, are determined from seismic wide-angle reflection and refraction data, using the seismic ray tracing method to calculate minimum ...

Evolving force balance during incipient subduction [PDF]
Nearly half of all active subduction zones initiated during the Cenozoic. All subduction zones associated with active back arc extension have initiated since the Eocene, hinting that back arc extension may be intimately associated with an interval ...

Barium content of Archaean continental crust reveals the onset of subduction was not global
Only subduction zone can produce Ba-rich TTG, representing a proxy for the onset of subduction. Statistical increases in Ba contents of Archaean TTGs reveal the diachronous onset of subduction from regional at 4 Ga to globally complete after 2.7 ...
