Initiation of subduction
Although stable subduction is fairly well understood, the process by which subduction is initiated End of subduction
Subduction can continue as long as the oceanic lithosphere moves into the subduction zone.

Introduction to Subduction Zones: Amazing Events in Subduction Zones
Earthquakes occur elsewhere in subduction zones, within the subducting plate ("intra-plate") that often are deeper than about 30 kilometers (19 miles) below the surface, or at the "outer-rise" just a few kilometers below the surface where the plate begins its descent. They also occur within the crust of the upper plate, often just ...

The Aleutian subduction zone | AMNH
The Aleutian Trench, extending 2,900 kilometers from the Gulf of Alaska to Kamchatka, marks the place where the Pacific plate is being subducted beneath the North American plate. The two plates are approaching each other at about 6 centimeters a year. Subduction at this boundary has caused some of the largest earthquakes of the 20th century.

Subduction Zone Volcanism | Volcano World | Oregon State University
The Earth recycles itself! Some of the most spectacular volcanoes on Earth are associated with subduction zones! Right: The upper picture was taken at Crater Lake in 1941. Left: Mt. Ranier in 1914. Mt. Mazama, the volcano that erupted to form Crater used to look a lot like Mt. Ranier, however when it erupted, the top collapsed in on itself and filled with water over time to produce the lake we ...

Oblique subduction
Oblique subduction is a form of subduction (i.e. a tectonic process involving the convergence of two plates where the denser plate descends into Earth's poles) in some oblique subduction zones.

Detailed studies of the texture and composition of ophiolite mélanges belt can provide important information for the reconstruction of ancient plate tectonics and the evolution of ancient ocean basins. The Beishan orogenic belt contains multiple belts of ophiolite mélanges and records Paleozoic subduction and closure processes of the Paleo-Asian Oceans.
