(a) Geological units and earthquake distribution of an oceanic subduction zone. The orange shadow beneath the volcanic arc represents partially molten areas and magma channels. (b) Thermal structure ...
Not all earthquake faults behave the same. Some stick and snap, causing earthquakes. Others move slowly over time. For years, ...

The Earth is tearing itself apart near Vancouver Island in the Pacific Northwest
Subduction zones can look permanent on a map. They run for hundreds or thousands of miles, haul oceanic crust into the mantle ...
A new study, resorting to computational models, predicts that a subduction zone currently below the Gibraltar Strait will propagate further inside the Atlantic and contribute to forming an Atlantic ...
Our planet's lithosphere is broken into several tectonic plates. Their configuration is ever-shifting, as supercontinents are assembled and broken up, and oceans form, grow, and then start to close in ...
Researchers reveal grain boundary sliding as a formation mechanism for the crystal preferred orientation of antigorite and elucidate the formation and development of B-type antigorite CPO patterns.
For the first time, scientists have watched a subduction zone literally fall apart beneath the ocean floor. Using advanced ...
