1 2 3 4 5 Welcome This is a document to explains the chosen concept to the animator. This will take you through a 5 section process to provide the necessary details to the animator before starting the animation. The legend on the left will indicate the current status of the document. The big Black coloured number will denote the current section, the Grey color would denote the completed sections, and the Turquoise color would denote the remaining sections. The slides having yellow background (like this one) are the 'Instruction slides' 1 Subduction Mechanism Subduction zones exist at convergent plate boundaries where one plate of oceanic lithosphere converges with another one. The down-going slab- the subducting plate- is overridden by the leading 2 edge of the other plate. The overriding continental plate is lifted up, and a mountain range is created. The oceanic plate bends and plunges steeply through the asthenosphere. Sinking of the oceanic plate due to contrast of density between the cold and old lithosphere and the hot asthenospheric mantle wedge, is one of the strongest forces needed to drive the plate and is the dominant mode of mantle 3 convection.

Draw image big enough for explaining. In the image, identify and label different components of the process/phenomenon. (These are like characters in a film) Illustrate the basic flow of action by using arrows. Use BOLD lines in the diagram (minimum 2pts.) In the slide after that, provide the definitions of ALL the labels used in the diagram You may have multiple master layouts. • In this case, number the master layout. (e.g. Master layout 1, 2, 3…) 1 Keywords/Definitions • Converging continental plate: In plate tectonics, a convergent boundary, also known as a destructive plate boundary, is an actively deforming region where two (or more) plates or fragments of lithosphere move toward one another and collide. As a result of pressure, friction, and plate material melting in the mantle, earthquakes and volcanoes are common near convergent boundaries. • Accretionary wedge : An accretionary wedge or an accretionary prism is formed from sediments that are accreted onto the non- subducting tectonic plate at a convergent plate boundary. Most of the material in the accretionary wedge consists of marine sediments scraped off from the down going slab of oceanic crust, but in some cases includes the erosional products of volcanic island arcs formed on the overriding plate. • Forarc basin: A forearc or forarc, also called arc-trench gap, is a depression in the sea floor located between a subduction zone and an associated volcanic arc. It is typically filled with sediments from the adjacent landmass and the island arc in addition to trapped oceanic crustal material. 2 3 4 5 1 Keywords/Definitions • Magmatic arc or Volcanic arc: This is a result of the subduction of an oceanic tectonic plate under another tectonic plate, and often parallels an oceanic trench. The oceanic plate is saturated with water, and volatiles such as water drastically reduces the melting point of the mantle. As the oceanic plate is subducted, it is subjected to progressively increasing pressures with increasing depth. This pressure squeezes water out of the plate and introduces it to the mantle. Here the mantle melts and forms magma at depth under the overriding plate. The magma ascends to form an arc of volcanoes parallel to the subduction zone • Back arc basin: These are submarine basins associated with island arcs and subduction zones. This is the region landward of the volcanic chain on the other side from the subduction zone • Convergence: Convergence is a phenomenon in which, two plates come together and one plate will be going downward respect to the another one. 2 3 4 5 Master layout: 1 1 Volcanic arc 2 Oceanic crust Oceanic plate Volcano Trench Continental crust Magma ascension Mantle lithosphere Mantle (asthenosphere) 3 Fig. 1 In our considerable phenomenon , subduction process involves the convergence between the oceanic plate and continental plate and results volcanic arc. 4 5 Master layout: 2 1 2 Continental plate Lithosphere Oceanic plate Oceanic plate Asthenosphere 3 Island arc Trench Lithosphere Asthenosphere Fig. 2 In our considerable phenomenon, subduction process involves convergence of oceanic and oceanic plate and results Island arc. 4 5 The blocked portion involves the uprising magma (shown by black arrow) 1 Explain the process 2 3 4 5 In this step, use an example to explain the concept. It can be an analogy, a scenario, or an action which explains this concept/process/topic Try to use examples from day-to-day life to make it more clear You have to describe what steps the animator should take to make your concept come alive as a series of moving images. Keep the examples simple to understand, and also to illustrate/animate. 1 2 3 4 5 Analogy Description of the event in brief: The two solid slabs are subjected to head-on collision but due to density difference, one slab goes down under the second one, which results in the formation of different tectonic features. Analogy of the above said event: Scraping of a cream cake with a knife is analogous to the formation of accretionary prism and fore arc basin. 1 Stepwise description of process 2 3 4 5 The goal of the document is to provide instructions to an animator who is not a expert. You have to describe what steps the animator should take to make your concept come alive as a moving visualization. Use one slide per step. This will ensure clarity of the explanation. Add a image of the step in the box, and the details in the table below the box. You can use any images for reference, but mention about it's copyright status The animator will have to re-draw / re-create the drawings Add more slides as per the requirement of the animation Step: 1, Volcanic arc formed by oceanic-continental subduction 1 Volcanic arc 2 Oceanic crust Volcano Trench Continental crust Oceanic plate Magma ascension Mantle lithosphere Mantle (asthenosphere) 3 4 5 Fig. 1 Description of the action Audio narration 1) Show that the oceanic plate is going towards downward direction (as shown by black arrows) 2) The down-going oceanic plate makes an angle with the mantle lithosphere (almost 45⁰) 3) Show the magma (shown by orange colour) is going upwards by black arrow and forms volcanic arc ( denotes by area little bit elevated) 4) Time duration for this event will be 10-15 seconds In our considerable phenomenon , subduction process involves the convergence between the oceanic plate and continental plate and volcanic arc is the resultant event.

Credits APPENDIX 1 Self- Assessment Questionnaire for Learners • Please provide a set of questions that a user can answer based on the LO. They can be of the following types: – These questions should be 5 in number and can be of objective type (like MCQ, Match the columns, Yes or No, Sequencing, Odd One Out). – The questions can also be open-ended. The user would be asked to think about the question. The author is requested to provide hints if possible, but a full answer is not necessary. – One can include questions, for which the user will need to interact with the LO (with certain parameters) in order to answer it. – It is better to avoid questions based purely on recall.

The summary will help the user in the quick review of the concept. APPENDIX 3 Summary At the mid-oceanic ridge, new plates pushes the older oceanic plate. The oceanic plate dives under the continental plate and scraps against the continental plate forming the accretionary wedge. The subducting plate continues to go below the over-riding plate, and the convection currents pulls the slab. Due to high friction between the plates, the continental plate buckles up. The accretionary prism continue to rise and forms a fore arc basin. Partial melting of subducting plate provides the molten material for magmatic arc and for spreading axis of the back arc basin.
