The article provides information on a study led by geophysicist Joo Duarte on subduction zones in the ocean. According to the study, there may be a subduction zone developing off the coast of Portugal triggered by the subduction of the Gibraltar Arc. During the study, the researchers produced ...
A new subduction zone forming off the coast of Portugal heralds the beginning of a cycle that will see the Atlantic Ocean close as continental Europe moves closer to America. Published in Geology, new research led by Monash University geologists has detected the first evidence that a passive marg...
Subduction zones have recurrently formed on Earth. Previous studies have, however, suggested that they are unlikely to start in the interior of a pristine ocean. Instead, they seem to be more likely to form from another pre-existing subduction zone. One
Subduction Zone and Volcanic Blast Earthquakes Some of the world's most deadly tsunamis have been produced around the rim of the Indian Ocean. The December 26, 2004 tsunami that killed over 250,000 people was produced by a subduction zone earthquake on the west coast of Sumatra, Indonesia. On...
好的。基本上来说,一个俯冲带就是两个构造板块相撞的地方。 4.They think that a newsubductionzone will might occur at the western edge of the Atlantic Ocean.(听力 托福-12)您的浏览器不支持 audio 标签。 他们认为一个新的俯冲带会在大西洋西岸形成。

The small transformational strains associated with serpentinization in this region may promote thrust-type events in the aseismic slip zone near the upper boundary of the subducting Philippine Sea Plate as well as intraplate earthquakes associated with normal faulting. The rate of serpentinization needed ...
such as its age, rigidity, fabric orientation or sediment thickness, are often cited as important properties controlling the geometry, state of stress, dynamics and hazard potential of subduction zones, yet the links between upper-plate structures and subduction zone processes remain poorly understood....
Interestingly, in the case of the South Sandwich subduction zone, which now forms an isolated trench in the South Atlantic Ocean, it is difficult to assess which of these mechanisms played a role. The overriding plate, to the west of the South Sandwich subduction zone, contains continental ...
