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.
1 Subduction is the process by which continental crust slides beneath another portion of crust. 2  The subducting crust melts and becomes magma, the material that fuels volcanic eruption. 3  The melted crust contains carbon in the sediments and soils, thus recycling it through the mantle of the earth. The melted crust convecting through the mantle will eventually resurface in the form of lava during eruptions from volcanoes. 2  These volcanoes were originally formed by tectonic forces--where there is an excess of magma below the crust due to subduction, it is forced to erupt. 3  The process of eruption includes degassing.
