When two oceanic plates collide against each other, the older and therefore heavier of the two subducts beneath the other, initiating volcanic activity in a manner similar to that which occurs at an oceanic-continental convergent plate boundary and forminga volcanic island arc. What geological event...
Continental intraplate volcano is an ideal probe to unravel the composition and structure of the deep Earth. The intraplate Changbaishan-Tianchi volcano was one of the most hazardous eruptions on the Earth's planet. The long-term activity of this volcano from the Pleistocene to 946 CE has erupted...

Generation of continental crust in collision zones reflect the interplay between oceanic subduction and continental collision. The Gangdese continental crust in southern Tibet developed during subduction of the Neo-Tethyan oceanic slab in the Mesozoic prior to reworking during the India-Asia collision in ...
It means that this plate was being subducted under the active margin of Siberia during the Early Cretaceous, and thus the convergent boundary of the Izanagi and Farallon Plates in the central North Pacific was located much to the east from its earlier proposed position....

Convergent plate margins where large turbidite fans with slivers of oceanic basement are accreted to continents represent important sites of continental crustal growth and recycling. Crust accreted in these settings is dominated by an upper layer of recycled crustal and arc detritus (turbidites) underlain...
convergent margins due to the addition of subducted crustal materials (including volatile components and/or melts). OIBs and CFBs are genetically related to mantle plumes, which originate from the lower mantle or the core-mantle boundary11. A landmark study recently observed deviations in Δ199Hg...
