Subduction zones, where one tectonic plate dives underneath another, drive the world's most devastating earthquakes and ...

Water within the oceanic lithosphere is returned to Earth’s surface at subduction zones ... Figure 1: Equilibrium phase diagram depicting the metamorphic evolution of a typical serpentinite.

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 ...

A new study, resorting to computational models, predicts that a subduction zone currently below the Gibraltar ... According to these results, its slow phase will last for another 20 million ...

A new computational, gravity-driven 3-D model, developed by the authors, shows that this slow phase will last for another 20 million years. After that, the Gibraltar subduction zone will invade ...

A recent voyage got up close and personal with an underwater fault that could reshape life in the Pacific Northwest. Anne Trehu, a Professor Emeritus who worked at Oregon State University says ...

A new study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences revealed that an earthquake could erupt along the Cascadia subduction zone, a fault that stretches from Northern ...

Based on their calculation, the potential CH 4 flux from worldwide modern subduction zones is estimated to be ... to ultrahigh-pressure metamorphism. Phase equilibrium and DEW simulations showed ...
