i guess it depends on what the point is. if the point is simply an abstracted illustration of what subduction means to skt, then the audience doesn't really need to know what subduction is. perhaps a poster like this would inspire someone to look it up and find out. i'm not sure that this is information graphics, per se, rather almost a commentary on information graphics.
to my mind, the rounded lines are really suitable because they soften what is, actually, a terrifically violent and powerful cataclysmic process. but it's a process that spans *geological* timescales. meaning that, to us, the movement is practically imperceptible.
