Project SWaMMIS aims to establish a fully integrated link between high-resolution seismic images and numerical models of subduction zones to better understand the role of water and metamorphism in the generation of intraslab earthquakes. This research endeavour will aid in understanding the triggering mechanisms of damaging subduction earthquakes.Subduction zone metamorphism. During subduction, a tectonic plate, consisting of oceanic crust and lithospheric mantle, is recycled back into the deeper mantle. In most subduction zones the subducting plate is relatively cold compared with the high temperature it had when first formed at a mid-ocean spreading ridge. Subduction takes the rocks ...Field-based studies of subduction-zone metamorphism, and allied experimental work, can address key questions raised by the Subduction Factory community and these types of studies should figure more prominently in future MARGINS initiatives.Subduction zones host a unique variety of rock types created by the high-pressure, low-temperature conditions a subducting slab encounters during its descent. The metamorphic conditions the slab passes through in this process creates and destroys water bearing (hydrous) mineral phases, releasing water into the mantle.[25] Nadeau and Dolenc reported ETS along the San Andreas Fault, which is a very different thermal and metamorphic setting than a subduction zone. Prograde metamorphism occurs primarily at convergent plate boundaries where rocks are tectonically buried; metamorphic fluids are released by dehydration reactions that occur as hydrous minerals ...Subduction zone metamorphism.

For each subduction zone, we compare the locus of velocity increase in the crust with the expected petrological changes as a function of P-T paths predicted by geo- Subduction zone metamorphism is characterized by a low temperature, high-ultrahigh pressure metamorphic path through the zeolite, prehnite-pumpellyite, blueschist, and eclogite facies stability zones of subducted oceanic crust.

Compressional stresses acting in the subduction zone create the differential stress necessary to form schists and thus the resulting metamorphic rocks are called blueschist.

However, whether Earth always had plate tectonics or, if not, when and how a globally linked network of narrow plate boundaries emerged are matters of ongoing debate. Earth's mantle may have been as much as 200-300 °C warmer in ...Nautilus Live website: http://nautiluslive.orgNautilus Live on Facebook: http://facebook.com/NautilusLive Explore the science behind subduction volcanoes, le...Metamorphism in subduction zones transforms crustal rocks into given mineral assemblages under given pressure (P)-temperature (T) conditions.

Ultrahigh-pressure Metamorphism: Deep Continental Subduction, Issue 403 Volume 403 of Geological Society of America Special Paper Volume 403 of Special paper - Geological Society of America ...Subduction Zone Metamorphism At subduction zones, where ocean lithosphere is forced down into the hot mantle, there is a unique combination of relatively low temperatures and very high pressures. The high pressures are to be expected, given the force of collision between tectonic plates, and the increasing lithostatic pressure as the subducting slab is forced deeper and deeper into the mantle. Subduction zones are tectonic expressions of convergent plate margins, where crustal rocks descend into and interact with the overlying mantle wedge. They are the geodynamic system that produces mafic arc volcanics above oceanic subduction zones but high- to ultrahigh-pressure metamorphic rocks in continental subduction zones. While the metamorphic rocks provide petrological records of ... Ob5
