Sentence examples for a shallower subduction from inspiring English sources

Furthermore, the lower metamorphic P-T conditions in Tongbaishan relative to the Dabie Sulu region are hypothesized to have resulted from a shallower subduction.

Until at least 30 Ma when kimberlitic volcanism occurred at Garnet Ridge (Smith et al. 2004), the oceanic Farallon plate subducted beneath the west coast of North America and apparently extended at a shallow subduction angle to the mantle region below the Colorado Plateau (Coney and Reynolds 1977; Bunge and Grand 2000).

Variable Neogene arc expansion could be responsible for the contrasting contractional deformation: In the north, late Miocene arc-related rocks cover most of the retroarc zone (>200 km with respect to the late Miocene arc front in the south), presumably driven by a shallow subduction episode in the area, whereas to the south they remain restricted to the continental drainage divide.

The progressive change in deformation mechanism from ductile to brittle in the shallower subduction zone is probably related to lithification along the subduction interface in a broad sense.

We interpret a moderate- to low-attenuation zone located in the lower crust at the northeast of Biwa Lake to reflect low-temperature conditions that are developed locally as a result of shallow subduction of the cold Philippine Sea slab.

Finally, we summarize the results and overview a variation of slip behaviors in shallow subduction zones.

The distribution of Niobium enriched basalts (NEB) in the southern Superior Province may reflect plume controlled shallow subduction beneath the Abitibi belt that limited melting depths within a restricted asthensopheric mantle tongue.

This behavior should naturally exist in shallow subduction events.

Notably, JFAST confirmed that the large coseismic slip occurred in the shallow subduction thrust where earthquakes are unlikely to nucleate.

This estimation also predicts that slow slip velocity, long risetime, and very large total displacement would be common features of slip behaviors in shallow subduction zones.

Hydrothermal fluid circulation in subducting basement also redistributes and extracts heat from the subduction zone, lowering temperatures far into the system and raising temperatures in the shallow subduction zone [60].
