Interactions between a flat slab and overriding plate: Controlling factors of subduction dynamics and continental deformation
DownloadFall 2022
Subduction zones are active plate margins that have an important role in mantle and lithosphere processes. Subduction is driven by the negative buoyancy of the downgoing oceanic plate, resulting in a steep descent angle at most subduction zones. However, in approximately 10% of modern subduction...

In western Canada, the Archean-aged cratonic core of the North American continent is flanked on its western edge by the Cordillera, which forms the back arc region of the Cascadia subduction zone. The boundary between these two geologic provinces is expressed at the surface by a system of NNW-SSE...
