But even with this bit of info, I still don't understand.

Thu, May 7, 2009 - 4:05 PMSubduction zone: the region in which one tectonic plate bends and goes under another tectonic plate, heading toward the earth's mantle and MELTING, which in turn creates volcanoes and earthquakes. I'm just sayin'. -

Or a form of liposuction that goes for the fat UNDER the fat... -

Re: Subduction
Thu, December 10, 2009 - 3:02 AMOnekotan is in Russia’s Kuril Islands between Japan and the tip of the Kamchatka Peninsula. The islands were formed by volcanic activity caused by the subduction of the Pacific Plate beneath the Eurasian Plate. Subduction can also generate some of the largest earthquakes on Earth, including a magnitude 9 here in 1952 which was followed a week later by Krenitzyn’s only historical eruption. This image was captured by the Advanced Land Imager (ALI) on NASA’s Earth Observing-1 (EO-1) satellite on June 10, 2009.

Or maybe I am saying that because I like the Spong Monkeys...

Re: Subduction
Tue, November 17, 2009 - 11:59 PMoccurs when two tectonic plates collide;denser plate dives below less dense plate;subducted plate remelts from increased temperature;plate is forced back up due to change in pressure from melting;volcano ranges form above/parallel to line where plates meet.
found these notes from an oceanography course. -

Sun, December 6, 2009 - 8:17 PMWhen I was in the Navy, we Commander in Chief Band musicians were put in the same barracks with a buncha guys from Fleet Submarine Force Atlantic. When we wanted to pick a fight, we would call them sub-mariners. :-)
