CONT

Quand deux plaques de glace entrent en collision sur Europe, satellite de Jupiter, l'une plonge sous l'autre, formant une zone de subduction. Mais, à la différence de ce qui se passe sur Terre, où il entraîne la création de montagnes, ce processus crée ici une zone de subsumption : la plaque qui plonge fond et se mélange à l'enveloppe intérieure de glace. Une bande de subsumption apparaît aussi : elle résulte de la contraction de la plaque supérieure lors de la collision.
