About this document

Subduction Factory: Earth by Lup Bello is a document available to read on EtoBox.

The subduction factory processes raw materials like ocean sediments and ocean crust through dehydration reactions. This extracts aqueous fluids that dissolve and transfer elements to the mantle wedge, generating arc basalts with distinct chemistries. Arc basalts are typically produced by mixing a mantle-derived basalt and crust-derived felsic magma, resulting in calc-alkaline andesites similar to continental crust. Waste from the factory like modified ocean materials and delaminated lower crust are recycled
