Article Synopsis
- Face-to-face double subduction systems, where two oceanic plates move towards each other and subduct, play a crucial role in plate tectonics but have complex dynamics that are not fully understood.*
-
- Numerical modeling shows that when a younger subduction zone starts forming, it significantly impacts the older subduction zone by gradually absorbing its convergence, leading to a decrease in subduction rate and a shift in trench position.*
-
- This transformation in subduction activity affects intraplate stress and mantle flow, influencing the motion of three different tectonic plates and providing insights into the evolution of various double subduction regions on Earth.*
