Evolving force balance during incipient subduction [PDF]

, 2004
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 ...

Slab2, a comprehensive subduction zone geometry model

Science, 2018
Detailing subduction zones 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 ...

On the initiation of subduction zones

pure and applied geophysics, 1989
Analysis of the relation between intraplate stress fields and lithospheric rheology leads to greater insight into the role that initiation of subduction plays in the tectonic evolution of the lithosphere. Numerical model studies show that if after a short evolution of a passive margin (time span a few tens of million years) subduction has not yet ...

The link between great earthquakes and the subduction of oceanic fracture zones [PDF]

Solid Earth, 2012
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]

, 2009
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 ...

Simple Kinematics of Subduction Zones [PDF]

International Geology Review, 2006
Two main types of subduction zones can be distinguished: (1) those where the subduction hinge migrates away from the upper plate; and (2) those in which the subduction hinge migrates toward the upper plate. Apart from a few exceptions, this distinction seems to apply particularly for W-directed subduction zones and E- or NE-directed subduction zones ...

New Permo-Carboniferous geochemical data from central Thailand: implication for a volcanic arc model [PDF]

, 1991
Current ideas and models of geotectonic reconstructions of Southeast Asia are reviewed and new data on Late Carboniferous through Middle Permian tuffites and sills from central Thailand are presented in the light of the problems of Southeast Asian ...

Subduction Zones: A Short Review

, 2023
Subduction zones are locations on Earth where the oceanic material of one tectonic plate dives below the material (oceanic or continental) of another tectonic plate into the mantle. They are the most complex and dramatic tectonic features on our home planet and have been the subject of intense investigations, some of which pre-date the advent of the ...
