Subduction zones
RJ Stern - Reviews of geophysics, 2002 - Wiley Online Library
Subduction zones are where sediments, oceanic crust, and mantle lithosphere return to and
reequilibrate with Earth's mantle. Subduction zones are interior expressions of Earth's …

Subduction factory 2. Are intermediate‐depth earthquakes in subducting slabs linked to metamorphic dehydration reactions?
New thermal‐petrologic models of subduction zones are used to test the hypothesis that
intermediate‐depth intraslab earthquakes are linked to metamorphic dehydration reactions …
