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 ...

Experiments and theoretical calculations of phase stability in an open system, high-precision earthquake locations, as well as integrated studies of fossil earthquakes in ancient subduction zones ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

The dying Mediterranean Sea may have contaminated the Atlantic with a subduction zone. One day, it could help destroy the vast ocean. Oceans come and go over hundreds of millions of years.
