Scientists observed subduction as well as a process known as flat-slab rollback, which is "when the subducting plate retreats back to the surface." The processes led to the lithosphere ...
"Geodynamic simulations have attributed the geometry and stability of the lower mantle structures to their direct ...
It thus seems likely that the two belts of seismicity in the subducting slab are linked either to flexure or fragmentation of the oceanic plate as it subducts around the edges of the imbricated ...
In the uppermost lower mantle, seismic anisotropy is ubiquitous near subducting slabs, where shear waves with horizontal polarization propagate faster than those with vertical polarization (VSH ...
