History [edit]. The town of Lima was organized in 1789 (before Livingston County was established) as the Town of Charleston, but was renamed Lima in 1808 to reflect that many residents had come from Old Lyme, Connecticut and to avoid confusion with Charleston, New York.
What Is Subduction? Subduction is a kind of geological recycling. It occurs at convergent tectonic plate boundaries or where two tectonic plates come crashing together, in slow motion of course. At a convergent boundary, two plates can come together and rise up into mountains.
A subduction zone forms when continental crust and oceanic crust collide. The continental crust is thicker and more buoyant than the oceanic crust so the oceanic crust subducts beneath the continental crust.
