    What are the different rock types that enter a subduction zone?
    Draw in isotherms (lines of constant temperature) at ~300oC and 1000oC
    What metamorphic facies typically form in subduction zones and where?
    What angle does the subduction zone make with the overriding plate?
    Beneath the arc volcano, what is the depth of the subducting slab?
    What is the contact between the overriding plate and the subducting slab like?
    Where and what types of earthquakes occur in subduction zones?
