Abstract
Erosional convergent margins, where material is removed from the base of the upper plate and subducted on the lower plate, are fundamental features of the Circum Pacific. The erosional Middle America Trench convergent Pacific margin, remarkable for its broad diversity of dynamic environments, is a natural laboratory for studying convergent margin processes and seismogenesis. These environments include a shallow and deep trench axis, shallow-to-steep-dipping plate interfaces, abnormally hot-to-cold subducting plate temperatures, and a subducting plate with smooth morphology bordering basement ridges and seamounts. The subducting topography accelerates erosion and localizes seismicity.
