Subduction - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In geology, subduction is the process that takes place at convergent boundaries by which one tectonic plate moves under another tectonic plate, sinking into the Earth's mantle, as the plates converg...

This proposal overlooks the weak tensile strength of rock. If the pushing force, described above, cannot cause subduction, a pulling force certainly will not. Therefore, subduction will not occur...

Island arc type subduction occurs primarily in the western Pacific and the Indian Oceans. As indicated in Fig. 1, there are a small number of aseismic ridges in the vicinity of the north and western Pacific and Indian trenches. ...

Seattle WA (SPX) Jan 31, 2006 - The most powerful earthquakes ¿ such as those that shook Indonesia in 2004, Alaska in 1964, Chile in 1960 and the Pacific Northwest in 1700 ¿ occur in subduction zones, areas of the sea floor just offshore where two tectonic plates meet and one dives beneath the other. ...

New data overturn the commonly held view that great earthquakes only occur in fast, young subduction zones. ... Prior to the 2004 earthquake, scientists assumed that great earthquakes only occurred at the site of a young subduction zone, where one tectonic plate is pushed quickly underneath another one.
