Suit yourself. [Preferably with lots of insulation] <The first, by your own admission has very long time constants, i.e. it is a very low frequency system. > That wasn't an "admission". It was a statement of how the process works. Also, subduction is a zero frequency system. It doesn't have a frequency. Frequencies are to do with oscillating systems. Subduction has a frequency like rivers. Some flow quickly, carrying huge mass. Some flow slowly carrying huge mass. Some are trickles carrying nothing. Or trickles which carry lots [sometimes]. Subduction sometimes carries a LOT of material quickly and sometimes less. It's not like weather, which has frequency; night and day, summer and winter, storm or not storm, rain or dry, wind or calm.
