West of the Tonga-Kermadec trench is a series ridges and basins including, from east to west, ridge (frontal arc), Lau-Havre trough (interarc basin) Lau-Colville (third arc). The frontal third arcs have asymmetric cross sections with scarps on flanks facing interarc basin substantial accumulations sediment outer flanks. Geology exposed islands indicates that has been arc since early Tertiary; probably at least as old. A thin cover rapidly deposited suggests morphology basin, which consists...

Rapid dewatering, largely through loss of porosity, is one the most striking changes affecting deformed sediments in accretionary prisms. Analysis porosity from sample and seismic data confirms that prisms significantly less than basinal strata similar lithology. More specifically, depth gradient increases arcward across prism, until porosities 10% occur within a few kilometers surface. In deeper parts dewatering volume reduction not only during but also dehydration metamorphic reactions....
Very shortly after their discovery arcuate island chains, with associated volcanoes, trenches, and seismicity, were recognized as critical tectonic complexes in some way related to the development of orogenic zones (e.g. 102). However, technical inability adequately investigate these primarily submarine features, even worse, often misleading conclusions drawn from few segments above water, delayed an adequate understanding arc systems until Second World War. Since then, high precision...

This appears be due collision continental crust on west in contrast subduction oceanic east. display progressively older and more highly deformed sedimentary units northward coast, together with an increase elevation ranges.

The Philippine Archipelago consists of a complex array ophiolites, continental fragments and island arc elements that can be identified as accreted terranes, similar to those increasingly recognized components orogenic zones. northern Philippines, including Luzon, Mindoro nearby smaller islands, divided into at least six these tectonic elements. From west east across central Luzon there are the Neogene accretionary prism West Arc, Eocene Zambales ophiolite, Cretaceous Angat late...

Although sea floor spreading of some sort has created marginal basins, it is not known whether this similar to that at midocean ridges. Back arc in the Mariana Trough occurs along an axial topographic high, but there rapid variation style strike and less well defined symmetry than The topography very rough, despite apparently fast rate.

The fore-arc basin of the Sunda Arc off Sumatra is a strongly subsiding trough contained between rising subduction complex and elevated continental core. Up to 4 km Miocene–Recent strata on eastern flank have transgressed over an unconformity cut across Palaeogene margin that was uplifted structurally disrupted during late Oligocene. large step-like offsets palaeo-shelf edge, probably some structural disruption, can be attributed right-lateral strike-slip faults splay from Fault Zone....
The Maraº region of Turkey includes the Anatolian-Arabian-African triple junction. African-Arabian margin is marked by left-lateral transtension along Dead Sea (Kara Su) rift. Motion on Anatolian-Arabian boundary partitioned between East Anatolian fault and a fold-thrust belt termed Engizek zone, equivalent to Bitlis suture further east. African-Anatolian lies Cyprus-Misis-Andirin trend expressed near junction as Aslantaº-Iskenderun now undergoing slow transtension. Neogene evolution these...
In this study new instantaneous rotation vectors describing the motion of Philippine Sea plate relative to surrounding plates are determined that most nearly satisfy all available geological, geophysical and seismological observations along margins.

The Pacific‐Philippine, then checked for agreement with: (1) slip focal...
