Lateral propagation–induced subduction initiation at passive continental margins controlled by preexisting lithospheric weakness

Understanding the conditions for forming new subduction zones at passive continental margins is important for understanding plate tectonics and the Wilson cycle. Previous models of subduction initiation (SI) at passive margins generally ignore effects due to the lateral transition from oceanic to co...
