Trench dynamics: Effects of dynamically migrating trench on subducting slab morphology and characteristics of subduction zones systems

M Yoshida - Physics of the Earth and Planetary Interiors, 2017 - Elsevier
Understanding the mechanisms of trench migration (retreat or advance) is crucial to
characterizing the driving forces of Earth's tectonics plates, the origins of subducting slab
morphologies in the deep mantle, and identifying the characteristics of subduction zones
systems, which are among the fundamental issues of solid Earth science. A series of
numerical simulations of mantle convection, focusing on plate subduction in a three-
dimensional (3-D) regional spherical shell coordinate system, was performed to examine …
