The transport of water in subduction zones

YF Zheng, RX Chen, Z Xu, SB Zhang - Science China Earth Sciences, 2016‏ - Springer
The transport of water from subducting crust into the mantle is mainly dictated by the stability
of hydrous minerals in subduction zones. The thermal structure of subduction zones is a key …

Fluid processes in subduction zones

SM Peacock - Science, 1990‏ - science.org
Fluids play a critical role in subduction zones and arc magmatism. At shallow levels in
subduction zones (< 40 kilometers depth), expulsion of large volumes of pore waters and …

Lithospheric buoyancy and collisional orogenesis: Subduction of oceanic plateaus, continental margins, island arcs, spreading ridges, and seamounts

M Cloos - Geological Society of America Bulletin, 1993‏ - pubs.geoscienceworld.org
The sizes of continental blocks, basaltic oceanic plateaus, and island arcs that would cause
collisional orogenesis when they enter a subduction zone are calculated in an analysis …

Subduction-channel model of prism accretion, melange formation, sediment subduction, and subduction erosion at convergent plate margins: 1. Background and …

M Cloos, RL Shreve - Pure and Applied Geophysics, 1988‏ - Springer
Many geological and geophysical investigations, particularly the Deep Sea Drilling Project,

Thermal and petrologic structure of subduction zones

SM Peacock - Subduction: top to bottom, 1996‏ - Wiley Online Library
The subduction of oceanic lithosphere depresses isotherms on a regional scale resulting in
large thermal anomalies in the upper mantle. The thermal structure of a subduction zone …

CE Hall, M Gurnis, M Sdrolias, LL Lavier… - Earth and Planetary …, 2003‏ - Elsevier
Although the formation of subduction zones plays a central role in plate evolution, the
processes and geological settings that lead to the initiation of subduction are poorly …

Dynamics of sediment subduction, melange formation, and prism accretion

RL Shreve, M Cloos - Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid …, 1986‏ - Wiley Online Library
The descending plate and overriding block in a subduction zone are analogous to the guide
surface and slide block in a slipper bearing, and subducted sediment is analogous to the …
