俯衝侵蝕

俯衝侵蝕（英語：subduction erosion），或構造侵蝕，是由於俯衝而造成上覆構造板塊上的地殼消失^[1]。兩種類型的構造侵蝕：板塊前緣侵蝕和板塊地殼底部的基底侵蝕。基底侵蝕導致上覆板塊變薄^[2]。前緣侵蝕可能導致連鎖效應的斷層活動和板塊邊緣傾斜，以填補被消耗地殼塊體留下的“缺口”^[2]。高速俯衝和低速沉積物供應到海溝一般被認為能增強俯衝侵蝕^[1]。

在新元古代之前，由於收斂速率較高，俯衝侵蝕速率可能高於現在。藍片岩的稀缺似乎支持這種觀點。然而，這種說法有不同的解釋，因為早期的大洋地殼比今天的地殼含有更多的鎂，因此藍片岩相會被綠片岩相石取代^[3]。

俯衝侵蝕引起的構造實例

伸展構造：俯衝侵蝕被認為是智利北部的一種普遍現象，梅希约内斯半岛（英语：Mejillones Peninsula）周圍的正斷層歸因於岩石圈消耗引起的伸展多米諾骨牌效應^[2]。

區域下沉和海侵：智利南部的中新世海侵被認為是由基底構造侵蝕引起的^[4]。但俯衝侵蝕不能解釋巴塔哥尼亞更內陸的中新世海侵^[5]。

岩漿帶遷移：與安第斯造山運動同時，智利的岩漿帶從晚白堊世開始向東遷移被認為是由俯衝侵蝕引起的^[6]。
