Subduction initiation at the Solomon back‐arc basin: Contributions from both island arc rheological strength and oceanic plateau collision
It is generally accepted that the subduction polarity reversal (SPR) results from the strong
collision of two plates. Yet, the SPR of the Solomon Back‐arc Basin is started in the “soft …
