The phenomenon of subduction polarity reversal has been identified in the collision of an intra-oceanic subduction system,<ref name=":322">{{Cite journal|last=Clift|first=Peter D.|last2=Schouten|first2=Hans|last3=Draut|first3=Amy E.|date=2003-01-01|title=A general model of arc-continent collision and subduction polarity reversal from Taiwan and the Irish Caledonides|url=http://sp.lyellcollection.org/content/219/1/81|journal=Geological Society, London, Special Publications|language=en|volume=219|issue=1|pages=81–98|doi=10.1144/GSL.SP.2003.219.01.04|issn=0305-8719|bibcode=2003GSLSP.219...81C}}</ref> which is the collision of two [[Oceanic crust|oceanic plates]].<ref name=":142" /> When two oceanic plates migrate towards each other, one subducts below the other. Generally, the oceanic plate with higher density subducts beneath and the other one overrides the down-going slab.<ref name=":142" /> The process continues until a buoyant [[continental margin]] sitting on the top of the subducting plate is introduced into the down-going slab.<ref name=":113" /><ref name=":132222" /> The subduction of the slab becomes slower and may even cease.<ref name=":113" /><ref name=":132222" /> Geologists propose various possible models to predict what will be the next step for the intra-oceanic subduction system with the involvement of buoyant [[continental crust]].<ref name=":113" /><ref name=":132222"/> One of the possible results is subduction polarity reversal.<ref name=":132222"/><ref name=":03" /><ref name=":322"/><ref name=":23">{{Cite journal|last=Lallemand|first=Serge|last2=Font|first2=Yvonne|last3=Bijwaard|first3=Harmen|last4=Kao|first4=Honn|date=2001-07-10|title=New insights on 3-D plates interaction near Taiwan from tomography and tectonic implications|journal=Tectonophysics|volume=335|issue=3–4|pages=229–253|doi=10.1016/S0040-1951(01)00071-3|bibcode=2001Tectp.335..229L}}</ref><ref name=":73">{{Cite journal|last=Baes|first=Marzieh|last2=Govers|first2=Rob|last3=Wortel|first3=Rinus|date=2011-12-01|title=Switching between alternative responses of the lithosphere to continental collision|url=http://gji.oxfordjournals.org/content/187/3/1151|journal=Geophysical Journal International|language=en|volume=187|issue=3|pages=1151–1174|doi=10.1111/j.1365-246X.2011.05236.x|issn=0956-540X|bibcode=2011GeoJI.187.1151B|doi-access=free}}</ref><ref name=":93">{{Cite journal|last=Seno|first=Tetsuzo|date=1977-10-20|title=The instantaneous rotation vector of the Philippine sea plate relative to the Eurasian plate|journal=Tectonophysics|volume=42|issue=2|pages=209–226|doi=10.1016/0040-1951(77)90168-8|bibcode=1977Tectp..42..209S}}</ref>
