Tectonics of convergent plate margins: New insights into continental geology. Science China Press. Journal Science China Earth Sciences DOI 10.1007/s11430-022-9947-6 ...

Subduction zones are convergent boundaries of tectonic plates, areas where plates move towards and against each other. These convergent boundaries also include continental collision zones such ...

Sedimentation along convergent plate margins, the destructive sites of tectonic plate collision, is poorly understood. Malatestaet al.use a cutting-edge three-dimensional subduction model to ...

The answer is subduction. In locations around the world, ocean crust subducts, or slides under, other pieces of Earth's crust. The boundary where the two plates meet is called a convergent boundary.

My regular readers are going to need some context and backstory to what motivated writing this series of posts. It’s a three-part series — here is Part 2 and Part 3. I recently had an exchange ...

Lithospheric plates collide at convergent boundaries. Here, the less dense oceanic lithosphere subducts below the continental plate, and releases an abundance of water due to a progressive ...

Subduction zones also spawn the biggest earthquakes on the planet, as in Japan, Chile and Alaska. ... i.e. a new convergent plate boundary is forming," Duarte said.

Evidence for a subduction-like convergent boundary suggests that Europa may have active plate tectonics. Jupiter’s icy moon Europa has one of the youngest planetary surfaces in the Solar System ...

“To date, supercycles have been observed only in subduction zones with a larger-than-average seismogenic zone about 110 km across,” says Herrendörfer. Based on their findings, the ETH researchers have ...

Note: This is the second post in a three-part series — Part 1 from earlier today is required reading. Without it you will have no context for most of this post. After reading this, go to Part 3.
