Oblique subduction is a form of subduction (i.e. a tectonic process involving the convergence of two plates where the denser plate descends into Earth's...

45°N 124°W / 45°N 124°W / 45; -124 The Cascadia subduction zone is a 960 km (600 mi) fault at a convergent plate boundary, about 100–200 km (70–100 mi)...

Block) separated by north-trending faults. To the west, a highly oblique subduction zone separates the offshore Indian plate from the Burma microplate...

mid-ocean ridge spreading centres and at strike-slip systems parallel to oblique subduction zones. Strike-slip faults have a direct effect on magmatism. They...

Paleogene, the northward movement of the Indian Plate led to the highly oblique subduction of the Neotethys along the edge of the West Burma block and the development...

(0.4 in) per year at an oblique angle to the subduction zone. Because of the very large fault area, the Cascadia subduction zone can produce very large...

complex. Two types of subductions have been identified along the Sunda Arc: 1) orthogonal subduction along Java and 2) oblique subduction on the Sumatra side...

extrusive volcanism to form the arc of Loyalty Ridge/Islands. The oblique subduction was then jammed by the more buoyant continental lithosphere of the...

continued from the Neoproterozoic in response to the oblique subduction of the Iapetus Ocean. This subduction extended west along the Gondwanan margin and by...

The subduction tectonics of the Philippines is the control of geology over the Philippine archipelago. The Philippine region is seismically active and...
