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 ...

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 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 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 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 ...
