A record of plume-induced plate rotation triggering subduction initiation

A mantle plume induced plate rotation that initiated subduction and rifting along a >12,000 km plate boundary about 105 Myr ago, according to an analysis of geological data and numerical simulations.

Forced subduction initiation recorded in the sole and crust of the Semail Ophiolite of Oman

The subduction system recorded by the Semail Ophiolite of Oman was initiated by far-field events, according to a comparison of the ages of the upper and lower plate material.

A record of spontaneous subduction initiation in the Izu–Bonin–Mariana arc

How plate tectonic subduction is initiated is unclear. Analysis of sediments and rock cores taken from the Izu–Bonin–Mariana subduction zone trench suggests subduction started spontaneously in this region around 50 million years ago.

Formation of the Xigaze Metamorphic Sole under Tibetan continental lithosphere reveals generic characteristics of subduction initiation

The metamorphism of granulite-bearing metamorphic soles may initiate prior to the forearc extension that generated the ophiolites above them, according to garnet Lu-Hf geochronology from the sole of the Xigaze ophiolite, South Tibet
