A global study of subduction zone dynamics indicates that the thermal structure of the
overriding plate may control arc location. A fast convergence rate and a steep slab dip bring …

Although many collisional orogens form after subduction of oceanic lithosphere between two
continents, some orogens result from strain localization within a continent via inversion of …

Geology, geophysics and geodynamics of the Tyrrhenian Back-Arc Basin (BAB; central
Mediterranean Sea) have been studied extensively during the last 50 years. However, some …

At subduction zones, where oceanic plates are recycled into the Earth's interior, water
released by the subducting plate initiates partial melts that form volcanic arcs. Partial melts …

Back-arc basins are tectonic domains within subduction systems shaped mainly by
extensional and transtensional tectonics or in some cases by compression, volcanism and …

A newly refined and updated PaleoGIS spatial-tectonic model for opening the Gulf of Mexico
(GOM) was developed based on reevaluation of geophysical datasets and findings from …
