The Chile Triple Junction (CTJ) of the oceanic Nazca, Antarctic, and continental South American plates is the “hottest subduction zone” on Earth, being the only modern site where an active oceanic spreading ridge, the Chile Rise (CR), is currently subducting beneath the South American plate1...
Fig. 3: Subdution zone locations during the past 200 Myr. Reconstructed subduction locations during the past 200 Myr for a Arctic Ocean, and b Indian and Atlantic Oceans, modified from Shephard et al.21 and Young et al.65, respectively. Full size image Identifying subduction signals in glo...
Subduction zone reflections are generally found beneath known collisional belts, and their orientations are often consistent with the locations of exposed arcs, sutures, and subduction complexes. They project from the lower crust into the upper mantle and provide key geometric relationships between the ...

The zone is characterised by an imbricate thrust system. The belt is composed of molassic sediments. It is bounded to the west by the Haflong-Naga Thrust which distinguishes these Schuppen struc- tured strata from flat to gently dipping bed lying north of this belt (Rao, 1983). The ...

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. O...
Ophiolites occur widely in orogenic belts, yet their origins remain controversial. Here we present a modern example with a geodynamic model from Timor, eastern Indonesia, where Earth’s youngest supra-subduction zone (SSZ)-type ophiolitic fragments are e

Locations of great subduction zone earthquakes monitored by continuous GPS discussed here. (top left) The 1995 Jalisco-Colima Mw = 8.0 event ruptured the interface between the subducting Rivera plate and North America. (bottom left) The 1994 Mw = 7.7 Sanriku-Oki event broke the Pacific-Asia pl...
