A subduction zone is a collision between two of Earth's tectonic plates, where one plate sinks into the mantle underneath the other plate.

Tsunami earthquakes are characterized by the generation of disproportionately large tsunamis relative to the observed ground ...

A new study does the difficult task of trying to piece together the history of the world’s largest subduction zone.

The Cascadia Subduction Zone looks a little different than researchers thought. Here's what that means for "The Big One." ...

Subduction zones, where one tectonic plate dives underneath another, drive the world’s most devastating earthquakes and tsunamis. How do these danger zones come to be? A study in Geology presents ...

Early-stage subduction invasion Date: February 15, 2024 Source: Geological Society of America Summary: Our planet's lithosphere is broken into several tectonic plates. Their configuration is ever ...

A new subduction zone forming off the coast of Portugal heralds the beginning of a cycle that will see the Atlantic Ocean close as continental Europe moves closer to America.

A modeling study suggests a slumbering subduction zone below the Gibraltar Strait is active and could break into the Atlantic Ocean in 20 million years' time, giving birth to an Atlantic "Ring of ...

SUBDUCTION, 165-166 Ultimately, this is what makes "Subduction" so effective and gut-wrenching: The characters are human, capable of great kindness and great corruption.

Subduction is thus a key process of the tectonics and geodynamics of the Earth. However, the formation mechanism of a new subduction zone, i.e. subduction initiation (SI), is widely debated.

The process is expected to unfold over the next year or two. The Cascadia Subduction Zone looks a little different than researchers thought. Here's what that means for 'The Big One' ...
