Subduction is a geological process in which the oceanic lithosphere and some continental lithosphere is recycled into the Earth's mantle at convergent...

Ring of Fire is not a single geological structure. It was created by the subduction of different tectonic plates at convergent boundaries around the Pacific...

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)...

convergent margins of continents. The convergence may take the form of subduction (where a continent rides forcefully over an oceanic plate to form a noncollisional...

plate. The magma ascends to form an arc of volcanoes parallel to the subduction zone. Volcanic arcs are distinct from volcanic chains formed over hotspots...

HT is an oceanic trench containing the Hellenic subduction zone, directly related to the subduction of the African Plate under the Eurasian Plate. Alternate...

own kind of crust. Along convergent plate boundaries, the process of subduction carries the edge of one plate down under the other plate and into the...

subduction is characterized by a low subduction angle (<30 degrees to horizontal) beyond the seismogenic layer and a resumption of normal subduction far...

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

extremely large thrust fault, typically formed at the plate interface along a subduction zone, such as the Sunda megathrust. However, the term is also occasionally...
