Subduction polarity reversal is a geologic process in which two converging plates switch roles: The over-lying plate becomes the down-going plate, and...

full geomagnetic reversals. Stable polarity chrons often show large, rapid directional excursions, which occur more often than reversals, and could be seen...

some to believe that the fault could someday be the site of a subduction polarity reversal and begin subducting. Many languages are spoken on the island...

mudrocks. The New Britain subduction zone is an example of polarity-reversal subduction initiation, where a new subduction zone is created in a back-arc...

The New Britain subduction zone is a continuum with the Vanuatu subduction zone and are all cases of subduction polarity reversal as originally the...

Subduction is a geological process in which the oceanic lithosphere and some continental lithosphere is recycled into the Earth's mantle at convergent...

However, their data failed a "magnetic reversal test", which is used to see if they were formed by flipping polarities of a global magnetic field. Some of...

motivating force for seafloor spreading ridges is tectonic plate slab pull at subduction zones, rather than magma pressure, although there is typically significant...

after the subduction polarity reversal likely caused by the collision of the Pacific Plate Ontong Java Plateau with the Vitiaz Trench subduction zone, the...

descending slab also changed mantle flow traction, which caused a subduction polarity reversal; the Kimberley Craton began to subduct under the now lighter...

Antigorite, and its serpentine polymorphs, play an important role in subduction zone dynamics due to their relative weakness and high weight percent of...
