The modern understanding of the plate tectonic cycle predicts that remnants of submerged plates will be found near subduction zones. However, a new high-resolution model shows that these remnants ...

Pressure from a pool of magma has just cracked solid rock, creating a volcano-tectonic (VT) event. This type of quake produces relatively high-frequency shaking, usually between one and five ...

This volcanic arc delineates the boundary between the Pacific and North American tectonic plates. A subduction ... with pyroclastic flow material with Novarupta vent on extreme bottom right ...
