In the modern world, there are many foreland basin systems, including the interior of South America, east of the Andes, a subduction boundary; and the depositional basins bordering the Himalayas and ...

and back-arc basin formation. These insights not only refine understanding of subduction zone processes but also offer a template for studying other complex systems, such as the Mariana and Izu ...

This study, published in Earth and Planetary Physics, explores the subduction thermal state, slab metamorphism, and seismic ...

The Cascadia subduction zone, where the oceanic Juan de Fuca plate descends beneath ... implying they can occur as far west as the Puget Lowland and Georgia basin. The 2001 magnitude 6.8 Nisqually ...

A subduction zone, composed of the deep Aleutian Trench coupled with a landward line of volcanoes, creates a series of offshore islands (the Aleutians) as well as a line of volcanoes along the ...

Huang says finding active areas of subduction zones where earthquakes tend to occur, and examining why earthquakes occur in these areas, can help researchers devise better earthquake warning systems.
