Geophysics Subduction zones are responsible for the most-damaging and tsunami-generating great earthquakes. Hayes et al. updated their Slab1.0 model to include all seismically active subduction zones, including geometrically complex regions like the Philippines.

Fluid Processes in Subduction Zones
Science, 1990Fluids 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 ...

In this chapter, we review recent seismic tomography studies of subduction zones and new insights into arc magmatism, seismotectonics and subduction dynamics. Seismic velocity and attenuation tomography clearly reveals subducting slabs as high-velocity and low-attenuation zones, where intermediate-depth and deep earthquakes occur.

Lay people asked to name notable or particularly dangerous volcanoes are likely to come forth with names such as Krakatau, Mt. St. Helens, Pinatubo, Mt. Pelee, Vesuvius or Santorini. These are all volcanoes that have grown above subduction zones, and all have produced catastrophic or at least highly explosive eruptions.

Foredeeps versus subduction zones
Geology, 1994The geologic characteristics of foredeeps and accretionary wedges suggest that these features are distinguishable on the basis of the direction of the associated subduction. East-north-east-dipping subduction-related accretionary wedges show high relief and broad outcrops of metamorphic rocks.

Intra-oceanic Subduction Zones
2011Modern intra-oceanic subduction zones comprise around 17,000 km (~40%) of the convergent margins of the Earth and are subjects of intense cross-disciplinary studies that are reviewed in this chapter. Most of these subduction zones exhibit trench retreat, do not accrete sediments and are affected by back-arc extension processes.
