Full Title: Subduction of Aseismic Oceanic Ridges: Effects on Shape, Seismicity, and Other Characteristics of Consuming Plate Boundaries
Authors: P.R. Vogt, A. Lowrie, D.R. Bracey, and R.N. Hey
Subduction zones resemble a scalloped alternation of arcs and cusps or cusplike irregularities. This paper develops the proposal that many of the complexities of consuming plate boundaries are caused by the relative buoyancy of aseismic ridges on the downgoing plate.
