Neotectonics of the Sumatran fault, Indonesia [PDF]

, 2000
The 1900-km-long, trench-parallel Sumatran fault accommodates a significant amount of the right-lateral component of oblique convergence between the Eurasian and Indian/Australian plates from 10°N to 7°S.

Restoring the Missing Late Cretaceous Arc of Iran

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems
Persistent arc magmatism archives fluid transport and mantle partial melting in subduction zones. However, arc magmatism often exhibits different magmatic records along the strike, as seen in the Tethyan orogenic belt.

The impact of splay faults on fluid flow, solute transport, and pore pressure distribution in subduction zones: A case study offshore the Nicoya Peninsula, Costa Rica

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2015
Observations of seafloor seeps on the continental slope of many subduction zones illustrate that splay faults represent a primary hydraulic connection to the plate boundary at depth, carry deeply sourced fluids to the seafloor, and are in some cases ...

A review of the seismotectonics of the Makran Subduction Zone as a baseline for Tsunami Hazard Assessments

Geoscience Letters, 2019
The Makran Accretionary Wedge (900 km across) is a consequence of northward subduction of the oceanic part of the Arabian Plate beneath the Lut and Afghan blocks in the northwestern Indian Ocean.

Targeting deeply-sourced seeps along the Central Volcanic Zone [version 1; peer review: 2 approved, 1 approved with reservations]

Open Research Europe
At convergent margins, plates collide producing a subduction process. When an oceanic plate collides with a continental plate, the denser (i.e., oceanic) plate subducts beneath the less dense (continental) plate.

Oxygen-isotope and trace element constraints on the origins of silica-rich melts in the subarc mantle [PDF]

, 2007
Peridotitic xenoliths in basaltic andesites from Batan island in the Luzon arc contain silica-rich (broadly dacitic) hydrous melt inclusions that were likely trapped when these rocks were within the upper mantle wedge underlying the arc.

Patterns of Late Cenozoic exhumation deduced from apatite and zircon U-He ages from Fiordland, New Zealand [PDF]

, 2005
New apatite and zircon (U-Th)/He ages from the Fiordland region of New Zealand's South Island expand on earlier results and provide new constraints on patterns of Late Cenozoic exhumation and cooling across this region.

Dynamics of intraoceanic subduction initiation: 2. Suprasubduction zone ophiolite formation and metamorphic sole exhumation in context of absolute plate motions

Geochemistry Geophysics Geosystems, 2015
Analyzing subduction initiation is key for understanding the coupling between plate tectonics and the underlying mantle. Here we focus on suprasubduction zone (SSZ) ophiolites and how their formation links to intraoceanic subduction initiation in an ...

Earthquake Relocation Using Double Difference Method for 2D Modelling of Subducting Slab and Back Arc Thrust in West Nusa Tenggara

Jurnal Penelitian Fisika dan Aplikasinya, 2018
West Nusa Tenggara is classified into earthquake prone zone as it is located between subduction and back arc thrust earthquake sources. Accurate hypocenter determination in this area is necessary for strong motion calculation and earthquake source zone ...
