Spatio-temporal evolution and dynamic origin of Jurassic-Cretaceous magmatism in the South China Block
Widespread igneous rocks were emplaced in the eastern South China Bolck (SCB) from the
Jurassic to the Cretaceous period. These rocks include granitoids and rhyolites, and minor …

Southward expanding plate coupling due to variation in sediment subduction as a cause of Andean growth
Growth of the Andes has been attributed to Cenozoic subduction. Although climatic and
tectonic processes have been proposed to be first-order mechanisms, their interaction and …

Subduction duration and slab dip
The dip angles of slabs are among the clearest characteristics of subduction zones, but the
factors that control them remain obscure. Here, slab dip angles and subduction parameters …

The horizontal slab beneath East Asia and its subdued surface dynamic response
The kinematics of plate tectonics, deformation, and dynamic topography are strong
indicators of coupling between plates and the mantle. East Asia is characterized by the …

Geodynamic models of short-lived, long-lived and periodic flat slab subduction
WP Schellart, V Strak - Geophysical Journal International, 2021 - academic.oup.com
Flat slab subduction has been ascribed to a variety of causes, including subduction of
buoyant ridges/plateaus and forced trench retreat. The former, however, has irregular spatial …

Styles of trench‐parallel mid‐ocean ridge subduction affect Cenozoic geological evolution in circum‐pacific continental margins
Distinct signatures are present in the circum‐Pacific continental margins (eg, kinematics,
magmatism, and basin evolution), possibly influenced by the input of mid‐ocean ridge. It …

Observations and modeling of flat subduction and its geological effects
Flat subduction refers to low-angle (< 10°) or sub-horizontal subduction of oceanic slabs.
Flat subduction is only recognized in~ 10% of present-day subduction zones, but its impact …
