Where is an example of an oceanic oceanic convergent plate boundary? We continue our trip upwestern North Americato find a convergent plate boundary where oceanic crust subducts beneath oceanic crust. North of the contiguous U.S. lies Canada, and north of Canada lies Alaska. A line of volcano...
Oceanic anoxic eventsGranitoidJapanIn general, the arc magmas are oxidized, forming magnetite-series granitoids. However, there are also ilmenite-series granitoids at convergent margins. The mechanism that controls the formation of different types of granitoids remains obscure. Here we show that the ...
2,3. These zones record the generation of continental crust of andesitic to dacitic bulk composition and record the key geodynamic processes leading to the growth and preservation of continental crust
The origin of the intraplate volcanism is complicated, which is generally considered to be triggered by mantle plumes that arise from a hot thermal layer near the core-mantle boundary (Morgan, 1971), whereas most intraplate volcanism cannot be easily explained by a single mantle-plume model. ...
Evolution of shallow, crustal thermal structure from subduction to collision: An example from Taiwan We study crustal thermal evolution by examining heat flow patterns along a convergent boundary from a young subduction zone to a more structurally mature c... Wu-Cheng,Chi$Donald,L.,... - 《Gsa...
The tonalite melts mildly modified due to low degree of mixing and interaction with the overlying lithospheric mantle. Subsequently, the Dadnah tonalites emplaced at the upper part of the mantle sequence of the Semail ophiolite and are geochemically distinct from the other mantle intrusive felsic ...

Convergent morphology of the plankton represents adaptations for suspension in the water column, for movement within this water mass to increase nutrient uptake, and for protection against grazing or predation. Necessary attributes for cosmopolitan species include eurythermy and euryhalinity. The ...
