सबडक्टिंग इसके अंग्रेजी अर्थ का उदाहरण

The approximate alignment of so many convergent boundaries trending east to west, first noticed by Edouard Suess, suggests that once many plates were one plate, and the collision formed one subduction zone, which was oceanic, subducting the floor of Tethys.

The Gorda Plate is subducting beneath the North American Plate just offshore of Cape Mendocino.

The subducting slab can be lifted by aseismic ridges, seamount chains, or oceanic plateaus – which can provide a favourable environment for the development of a porphyry deposit.

Depending on the tectonic setting, water can also be introduced to the system through the dehydration of a subducting hydrated oceanic plate or magmatic underplating.

The subducting Pacific plate was old, cold and dense, easily sinking into the mantle at a steep angle.

The Gorda plate is subducting, towards N50ºE, under the North American plate at 2.

At this point, removal of the subducting Gorda lithosphere from beneath North America causes asthenospheric upwelling.

That is, heat flow is low above the subducting Gorda slab, between 40 and 50"nbsp;mW/m2.

" However, The Carteret Islands lie on the Pacific Plate, lying east of and above where the Solomon Sea plate is subducting underneath it.

The peaks formed in the past 35 million years as the Juan de Fuca, Gorda and Explorer plates to its west have been subducting under the North American Plate at the Cascadia subduction zone.

During Late Carboniferous there was a continental margin with an oceanic trench subducting the ocean floor off the coast.

The rocks of the Elkhorns were formed about 74 to 81 million years ago (Late Cretaceous time) as a result of the Farallon tectonic plate subducting beneath western North America and allowing magma to rise to the surface.
