2f) show the development of a wide straight arc with a deep (>9 km) trench that looks unlike the Scotia subduction zone or other modern narrow retreating subduction zones examples (cf. Figs. 1 and 2f). Retreating slabs along continental margins We further tested how the two retreating ...
We interpret this east-dipping upper mantle conductivity contrast as the lithosphere-scale suture between the Western Block and TNCO that formed through eastward subduction. The enhanced conductivity of the fossil oceanic subduction zone might be a reflection of the reduction in grain size of olivine...

A subduction zoneis also generated when two oceanic plates collide — the older plate is forced under the younger one — and it leads to the formation of chains of volcanic islands known as island arcs. Examples include the Mariana Islands in the western Pacific Ocean and the Aleutian Islands,...

Known examples of oceanic plateau subduction include the Cretaceous Caribbean Plateau, accreting at and subducting/underthrusting beneath the Greater Antilles on the Caribbean Plate and the south-eastern part of the Ontong Java Plateau presently subducting beneath the Solomon Islands at the north Solomon...
Oceanic crustis created asmagmarises to fill the gap between divergingtectonic platesand is consumed insubduction zones. It is geologically young, with a mean age of 60Ma, and is thin, averaging 6.5km in thickness. Oceanic crust consists almost exclusively of extrusivebasaltand its intrusive equiv...
