others form the seafloor.All are slowly moving because the plates float on a denser semi-liquid mantle, the layer between the crust and Earth’s core.The plates have edges that arespreading ridges(where two plates are moving apart and new seafloor is being created),subduction zones(where two...
The article provides information on a study led by geophysicist Jo茫o 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 ...

Subduction zones are fundamental to plate tectonics, yet how they initiate remains enigmatic. Geodynamic models suggest that if horizontal forces dominate, the upper plate experiences compression and uplift followed by extension and subsidence, whereas v

The timing of these changes in relative plate motion is based on synthetic flowlines to fit fracture zones of the Southwest Indian Ridge, as marine magnetic anomalies are absent (Mueller and Jokat, 2019). The change in relative plate motion led to oblique convergence between the Antarctic ...
View larger map. ADVERTISEMENT Subduction Zones as Tsunami Sources Most of Earth's seismic energy is released along the subduction zones and transform faults that rim the Pacific Ocean. Magnitude 7, 8 and 9 earthquakes are not uncommon in these areas. Subduction zone earthquakes of these ...
mapping the inner structure of the overriding crust and mantle is crucial to understand the magmatic and hydrological processes in subduction zones. We integrate 3-D P-wave,Vp/Vs, and electrical resistivity tomographic models of the northern Chilean subduction zone to map the magmatic and fluids de...
By considering stress drop variations, b-value map, magnitude distribution, and thermal models, candidate earthquake nucleation mechanisms are identified which can explain the observed distributions. This is done for two exemplary regions: (1) The plate interface, where principally lower stress drop ...
