This study, published in Earth and Planetary Physics, explores the subduction thermal state, slab metamorphism, and seismic activity in the Makran Subduction Zone. Using 3-D thermal modeling, the ...

Visualization of thermal state and slab depth in the Makran Subduction Zone Fig 2 Slab geometry and subduction velocities of the Arabian Plate. The color of the slab indicates the depth. The ...

The plateau likely formed because of the plume, although some scientists link the plateau's formation to the bending of Earth's crust created by the Makran subduction zone off the coasts of Pakistan ...

However, in the case of the Dani plume, this evidence has been swallowed and erased by the Makran subduction zone, Pilia said. "That evidence is gone forever." What's inside Earth quiz: Test your ...

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 ...

The report from the Subduction Zones in Four Dimensions (SZ4D) Research Coordination Network has been years in the making. After a 2016 workshop produced a "Vision Document" for the initiative ...
