Subduction zones
RJ Stern - Reviews of geophysics, 2002 - Wiley Online Library
Subduction zones are where sediments, oceanic crust, and mantle lithosphere return to and
reequilibrate with Earth's mantle. Subduction zones are interior expressions of Earth's …

To understand subduction initiation, study forearc crust: To understand forearc crust, study ophiolites
Articulating a comprehensive plate-tectonic theory requires understanding how new
subduction zones form (subduction initiation). Because subduction initiation is a …
