Subduction zones are the most important sites of material exchange between the crust and mantle on Earth. They are also the locations where the largest deposits of strategic metals, such as ...

This area, called the Cascadia Subduction Zone, hosts a megathrust fault ... Wang's group is using the data to model features of the seafloor off Vancouver Island that might generate tsunamis.

The Tonga Subduction Zone, characterized by the world’s fastest plate convergence (~24 cm/year) and back-arc spreading rates, serves as a natural laboratory for studying plate-mantle interactions.

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 ...

Mid-ocean ridge basalts (MORBs), located far from subduction zones, are typically thought to be unaffected by subduction ...
