Fluid processes in subduction zones

SM Peacock - Science, 1990 - science.org
Fluids play a critical role in subduction zones and arc magmatism. At shallow levels in
subduction zones (< 40 kilometers depth), expulsion of large volumes of pore waters and …

Fluids in accretionary prisms

JC Moore, P Vrolijk - Reviews of Geophysics, 1992 - Wiley Online Library
Accretionary prisms are composed of initially saturated sediments caught in subduction
zone tectonism. As sediments deform, fluid pressures rise and fluid is expelled, resembling a …

Tectonic history of subduction zones inferred from retrograde blueschist PT paths

WG Ernst - Geology, 1988 - pubs.geoscienceworld.org
Many Phanerozoic convergent plate junctions are marked by discontinuous blueschist belts,
