Description

This volume is devoted to the quantitative physical modelling of subduction and subduction-related processes. It presents a description of the modelling method (including similarity criteria, and a novel applied experimental technique), results from model experiments, theoretical analysis of results on the basis of continuum mechanics, and their geodynamic interpretation. Subduction is modelled in general as well as applied to particular regions using both 2-D and 3-D approaches, with both slab-push and slab-pull driving forces. The modelling covers all stages from subduction initiation to `death', different regimes of subduction producing back arc extension and compression, blocking of subduction and jumps of subduction zone, arc-continent collision and continental subduction. This work is intended for geologists and geophysicists interested in geodynamics of the convergent plate boundaries and in the mechanics of the lithosphere.
