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 ...

Boron Cycling in Subduction Zones [PDF]
Elements, 2017 Subduction zones are geologically dramatic features, with much of the drama being driven by the movement of water. The “light and lively” nature of boron, coupled with its wide variations in isotopic composition shown by the different geo-players in this drama, make it an ideal tracer for the role and movement of water during subduction. The utility of

Fluid-controlled element transport and mineralization in subduction zones
Solid Earth Sciences, 2018 Many of the world's metal deposits are associated with hydrothermal fluids in subduction zones, indicating the intimate relationship between subduction process and mineralization.

Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 1-26., 2021 Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Elements, 2020 Fluids are essential to the physical and chemical processes in subduction zones. Two types of subduction-zone fluids can be distinguished. First, shallow fluids, which are relatively dilute and water rich and that have properties that vary between subduction zones depending on the local thermal regime.

Introduction to subduction zones [PDF]
pure and applied geophysics, 1988 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 ...

Melting of subducted sediments reconciles geophysical images of subduction zones. [PDF]
Nat Commun, 2021 AbstractSediments play a key role in subduction. They help control the chemistry of arc volcanoes and the location of seismic hazards. Here, we present a new model describing the fate of subducted sediments that explains magnetotelluric models of subduction zones, which commonly show an enigmatic conductive anomaly at the trenchward side of volcanic ...

Evolution of tear faults in subduction zones: an analogue modelling perspective [PDF]
, 2020 Tear faults are common structures in subduction zones, especially at slab edges, where they origin from differential forces applied to a subducting slab in areas close to the trench.

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 ...
