subduction's Usage Examples:

His research focused on the Kermadec-Tonga subduction zone and the South American subduction zone, and determined that in both locations, earthquake foci fall along planes dipping ~45° from the trenches.

The subduction zone runs along the edge of one of the continents and dips under it, raising volcanic mountain chains at some distance behind it, such as the Andes of South America today.

caused by pyroclastic flows and lahars, deadly hazards that often accompany explosive eruptions of subduction-zone stratovolcanoes.

An example for the subduction zone setting is the Japan Median Tectonic Line.

the subduction zone is destroyed, mountains produced, and two continents sutured together.

Continued subduction of oceanic crust transported multiple oceanic arc terranes to the western margin of North America where they were accreted onto the edge of the continent.

Although there are vast areas of subduction zones, some authors have considered this region to have low seismic activity, though the USGS has recorded many earthquakes with magnitude ≥ 7.

These dikes are proposed to have been formed when the North American plate underwent a change in motion direction so that subduction was no longer occurring in a northeast direction but in the southeast direction.

It broached the surface much later, via subduction.

Young orogenic belts, in which subduction is.

Resisting subduction, the crust buckles up and under, raising mountains where a trench used to be.

Deep subduction of continental crustThe continental crust on the downgoing plate is deeply subducted as part of the downgoing plate during collision, defined as buoyant crust entering a subduction zone.

subduction zone about every 500 years on average, often accompanied by tsunamis.
