Subduction history of the Caribbean from upper-mantle seismic imaging and plate reconstruction

Subduction history of the Caribbean from upper-mantle seismic imaging and plate reconstruction

Seismic imaging of subducted plates offers a way to improve plate tectonic reconstructions. Here, Braszus et al. use new ocean-bottom seismometer data from the Lesser Antilles to locate subducted spreading centres and faults thus providing a new understanding of the evolution of the Caribbean plate.
