Description:
Article Sedimentation along convergent plate margins, the destructive sites of tectonic plate collision, is poorly understood. Malatesta et al. use a cutting-edge three-dimensinal subduction model to demonstrate that the trench-parallel motion of sediments has a much more important role than previously thought.
