Plate rupture is an important aspect of the process of creating a new subduction zone, as stresses of the order of kilobars are required to fracture oceanic lithosphere1. Therefore initiation of subduction could take place preferentially at pre-existing weakness zones or in regions where the lithosphere is prestressed.

Many of the world's largest earthquakes take place at subduction zones where tectonic plates collide, forcing one under the other. When pressure builds and the plates slip past one another, an earthquake results. The severity of that earthquake depends on ... With the weight of the sediment smoothing the subduction zone,

The complex, seismo- tectonic kinematic process of this region has been named "Delamination-wedge-subduction system" - which may apply also to other areas where active arc-arc collision and concurrent subduction take place.

The 2 January 2002 earthquake occurred along a zone where tectonic plate convergence and subduction take place, as the Pacific tectonic plate submerges beneath the Australian plate.

Both the nutrient recycling and the development of continental landmasses require a high rate of subduction. Subduction is the sliding of one tectonic plate under another. For subduction to take place, the tectonic plates need to slip in friction at the fault zones.

Over a period of tens to hundreds of millions of years this sediment pushes down on the oceanic crust (B and C), and eventually the strain becomes so great that the oceanic crust breaks and subduction begins to take place (D).

The example above showed what happened when the dense oceanic plate subducts under a lighter continental plate (ie, oceanic - continental). Two other types of subduction can take place:
