Oblique subduction is a form of subduction (i.e. a tectonic process involving the convergence of two plates where the denser plate descends into Earth's...

45°N 124°W / 45°N 124°W / 45; -124 The Cascadia subduction zone is a 960 km (600 mi) fault at a convergent plate boundary, about 110–160 km (70–100 mi)...

spreading of the Chile Ridge. The subduction of the ridge started is an oblique subduction with 10° – 12° oblique to the Chile trench since 14 Ma, which...

complex. Two types of subductions have been identified along the Sunda Arc: 1) orthogonal subduction along Java and 2) oblique subduction on the Sumatra side...

mid-ocean ridge spreading centres and at strike-slip systems parallel to oblique subduction zones. Strike-slip faults have a direct effect on magmatism. They...

involving oblique convergent margins and transpression / transtension tectonic regimes. Convergent margins where the angle of subduction is oblique will often...
