Mesozoic tectono-magmatic response in the East Asian ocean-continent connection zone to subduction of the Paleo-Pacific Plate

Earth-Science Reviews, 2019
The Mesozoic Western Pacific subduction system significantly impacted the North China and South China blocks along the East Asian continental margin and influenced the tectonic, magmatic, metallogenic and geomorphic evolution of the region.

Subduction Zones Parameters ☆

2017
Subduction zones are characterized by multiple behaviors, dynamics, or geometries. Most of them results from the complex interplay between various parameters. In this article, we define the most common parameters used by scientists and then mention the studies where (set of) parameters are tested empirically, or experimentally.

Creeping subduction zones are weaker than locked subduction zones

Nature Geoscience, 2017
Faults that are fully or partially locked pose the greatest seismic hazard because they accumulate stress that can then be released in large earthquakes. In contrast, other faults continuously creep. The creeping versus locked behaviour is probably related to the frictional properties of the fault and the effective normal stress on the fault, but it is

Viscosity of Fluids in Subduction Zones

Science, 2004
The viscosities of aqueous fluids with 10 to 80 weight percent dissolved silicates have been measured at 600° to 950°C and 1.0 to 2.0 gigapascals by in situ observation of falling spheres in the diamond anvil cell. The viscosities at 800°C range from 10 –4 to 10 0.5 pascal seconds.

SUBDUCTION ZONES

Reviews of Geophysics, 2002
Subduction zones are where sediments, oceanic crust, and mantle lithosphere return to and reequilibrate with Earth's mantle. Subduction zones are interior expressions of Earth's 55,000 km of convergent plate margins and are the geodynamic system that builds island arcs.

Subduction zone rheology

Physics of the Earth and Planetary Interiors, 2001
Rheological flow laws can be obtained from studies using multi-anvil high-pressure systems with synchrotron-based piezometers and strain metrics. The high flux X-ray source provides minute-scale time resolution with accurate measurement of diffraction patterns and direct sample images. Measurements of length changes with an accuracy of one part in 10 4

Fluid Processes in Subduction Zones

Science, 1990
Fluids play a critical role in subduction zones and arc magmatism. At shallow levels in subduction zones (<40 kilometers depth), expulsion of large volumes of pore waters and CH 4 -H 2 O fluids produced by diagenetic and low-grade metamorphic reactions affect the thermal and rheological ...

Subduction invasion of the Atlantic by Mediterranean subduction zones

2022
&lt;p&gt;Subduction invasion has been referred to as the process by which subduction zones from a subducting ocean invade or trigger subduction initiation in a contiguous ocean. This can, in principle, happen in different ways that can vary from a direct migration by rollback along an oceanic corridor connecting the two oceans (e.g., the ...
