Newly Identified A-type Granite in Western Yangtze Block and Its Geochemistry Characteristics: Evidence for Ridge Subduction beneath the South China Craton
AbstractNumerous Neoproterozoic granitic intrusions occur over a north-south distance of more than 700 km in the western Yangtze Block. In this...

Chemical composition of sediments from the subducting Cocos Ridge segment at the Southern Central American subduction zone
Subducted sediments play an important role in the magmatism at subduction zones and the formation of mantle heterogeneity, making them an important...

Magmatism-Related Thermal Simulation of Volcanic Arcs in the Molucca Sea Bidirectional Subduction System
The bidirectional subduction system, island arc magmatic activities, and thermal structure of the forearc basin in the Molucca Sea are taken into...

Neogene subduction initiation models in the western Pacific and analysis of subduction zone parameters
The Neogene is an important period for studying the onset of subduction, with numerous subduction zones forming in the western Pacific, including the...

The nature of the Pacific plate as subduction inputs to the northeastern Japan arc and its implication for subduction zone processes
Devastating megathrust earthquakes and slow earthquakes both occur along subducting plate interfaces. These interplate seismic activities are...

Yangshan A-Type Granites in the Lower Yangtze River Belt Formed by Ridge Subduction: Radiogenic Ca and Nd Isotopic Constraints
The Early Cretaceous aluminous A-type granites in the Lower Yangtze River belt (LYRB) can provide important insights into the Mesozoic magmatism in...

Petrological and geochemical constraints of mantle peridotites on the magma-starved Yap Arc formed by ultra-slow subduction
Oceanic plateaus inevitably interact with trench–arc systems during oceanic subduction, but the subduction mechanisms are poorly understood. The Yap...

A hypothesis of the obliquely subducted Gagua Ridge below Nanao Basin based on uplifted structures in Ryukyu forearc
At the southernmost part of the Ryukyu subduction zone, six long-offset multi-channel seismic profiles were collected across three forearc basins and...
