A subduction zone is created where two plates converge, with one sinking into the mantle. Dynamics along the plate interface create earthquakes, magma generated above the sinking slab leads to ...

These metals form in the upper crust at depths of a few kilometers (several miles). But how do they form and why are they concentrated there? (A) Diagram of a subduction zone illustrating the transfer ...
