However, available data allow certain parallels to be drawn with respect to the bombardment and accretionary histories of the three bodies.

The related Makran subduction zone is one of the few Cretaceous zones still active, and has formed a large accretionary prism.
33.
Because they are composed of igneous rocks instead of deformed sediments, non-accretionary trenches have steeper inner walls than accretionary trenches.

35.
Initial theories proposed that the oceanic trenches and magmatic arcs were the primary suppliers of the accretionary sedimentation wedges in the forearc regions.
36.
Prior to its formation, the Southern Uplands accretionary prism, flanking the edge of the Laurentian continent, was advancing towards Avalonia.
37.
These assumptions allow the application of a simple plastic continuum model, which successfully predicts the observed gently convex taper of accretionary wedges.
38.
The slope of the inner trench slope of an accretionary convergent margin reflects continuous adjustments to the thickness and width of the accretionary prism.

40.
The Quetico gneiss belt represents an accretionary wedge that formed in a trench during the collision of several island arcs ( greenstone belts ).
