The 12 pages that link to Accretionary wedge, each with the reason it gives.

• OphioliteRelated: Ophiolites may be juxtaposed with rocks assembled in this tectonic wedge.

• Convergent boundaryRelated: It forms where material is scraped off the downgoing plate at a subduction margin.

• Oceanic trenchRelated: Sediment stripped from the trench floor can build this wedge along its landward edge.

• North American CordilleraRelated: These wedges record material added to the Cordillera’s Pacific margin.

• Kuril–Kamchatka TrenchRelated: Sediments carried toward this margin may be scraped off and deformed beside the trench.

• Forearc basinRelated: Its growth can shape the basin's seaward margin and sediment supply.

• Fossa MagnaRelated: Accreted material around Japan provides geological context for the basin’s surrounding structures.

• GreywackeRelated: Greywacke can become incorporated into these tectonically assembled sedimentary complexes.

• Pacific Coast RangesRelated: Accreted material forms parts of the coastal mountains in western Canada and the United States.

• Terra Australis OrogenRelated: Prism formation is one way subduction added material to the belt’s margin.
