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.
Melt production and accretion of melt onto continental crust in a subduction zone. A subduction zone is a region of the earth's crust where one tectonic plate moves under another tectonic plate; oceanic crust gets recycled back into the mantle and continental crust gets created by the formation of arc magmas.
