Tectonic or subduction erosion refers to the removal of upper-plate material from the forearc
at convergent margins. Subduction erosion has been suggested to represent a major …

Among the wide range of thermal, petrologic, hydrological, and structural factors that
potentially affect subduction earthquakes, the roughness of the subducting seafloor is …

Subduction erosion occurs at all convergent plate boundaries, even if they are also
accretionary margins. Frontal subduction erosion results from a combination of erosion and …

Seamount subduction is a common process in subduction zone tectonics. Contradicting a
widely held expectation that subducting seamounts generate large earthquakes, seamounts …

The Maule earthquake of 27th February 2010 (Mw= 8.8) affected~ 500km of the Nazca-
South America plate boundary in south-central Chile producing spectacular crustal …

Geophysical and geological observations document that beneath the submerged forearc,
processes of sediment subduction and subduction erosion move large volumes of material …

Initiation of new subduction zones is an integral part of Earth's plate tectonics regime. It is
generally accepted that the negative buoyancy of sufficiently old oceanic lithosphere …

The Hikurangi subduction margin, New Zealand, has not experienced any significant (> Mw
7.2) subduction interface earthquakes since historical records began∼ 170 years ago …

混杂岩是造山带内最常见的地质体和最基本的大地构造相单元, 是由多种地质作用共同形成的可
作为一定比例尺(1: 25000 或更大) 的地质填图单元, 并由块体和基质共同构成的内部无序的岩石 …

Subducting seamounts are thought to increase the normal stress between subducting and
overriding plates. However, recent seismic surveys and laboratory experiments suggest that …
