Plate tectonics: What, where, why, and when?
The theory of plate tectonics is widely accepted by scientists and provides a robust
framework with which to describe and predict the behavior of Earth's rigid outer shell–the …

Subduction initiation at the Solomon back‐arc basin: Contributions from both island arc rheological strength and oceanic plateau collision
It is generally accepted that the subduction polarity reversal (SPR) results from the strong
collision of two plates. Yet, the SPR of the Solomon Back‐arc Basin is started in the “soft …
