Subduction invasion polarity switch from the Pacific to the Atlantic Ocean: A new geodynamic model of subduction initiation based on the Scotia Sea region

Subduction zones and their associated slabs are the main drivers of plate tectonics and mantle flow, but how these zones initiate remains enigmatic. In the Scotia Sea region, subduction started in the Late Cretaceous/Early Cenozoic in a pristine ocean basin setting devoid of other subduction/collisi...
