A type of ophiolite is named after a "supra" form of these regions.
A type of ophiolite is named after a "supra" form of these regions. One part of these regions canundergo tearing known as STEP faults. They consist of an updip zone and a seismogenic zone.Accretionary prisms are formed on one part of these regions. Nankai and Cascadia are two notable ones.Although not island arcs, one area associated with them can be affected by "roll-back" and is a back arc.Earthquakes can occur deep in them in areas called Benioff zones. The primary driving force behind theseregions is slab pull. For 10 points, name these regions in which an oceanic plate is driven under acontinental plate at a convergent margin.
