I think "subduction" is a capital word and could be applied easily to a range of murky situations where titanic forces overwhelm and "push down" seemingly immovable persons or points of view.

"Superplumes" didn't get a mention per se in that post, but we went close when discussing the extinction of species elsewhere. The cataclysmic vulcanism (+/- asteroid impact) that some schools cite as causing the 9 major extinctions shown in the geological record was a result of superplume action. (Keiva - the book IS still on its way - I promise, just been slack)
