Rifted margin architecture and crustal rheology: reviewing Iberia-Newfoundland, central South Atlantic, and South China Sea
Crustal rheology controls the style of rifting and ultimately the architecture of rifted margins.
Here we review the formation of three magma-poor margin pairs, Iberia-Newfoundland, the …

Pacific subduction control on Asian continental deformation including Tibetan extension and eastward extrusion tectonics
Abstract The India-Asia collision has formed the highest mountains on Earth and is thought
to account for extensive intraplate deformation in Asia. The prevailing explanation considers …

Trench migration and overriding plate stress in dynamic subduction models
On Earth, oceanic plates subduct beneath a variety of overriding plate (OP) styles, from
relatively thin and negatively buoyant oceanic OPs to thick and neutrally/positively buoyant …

A mantle convection perspective on global tectonics
The concept of interplay between mantle convection and tectonics goes back to about a
century ago, with the proposal that convection currents in the Earth's mantle drive …

Polarity-reversal subduction zone initiation triggered by buoyant plateau obstruction
Oceanic lithosphere worldwide is younger than ca. 200 Myr, suggesting that it must have
been globally recycled by the recurrent formation of new subduction zones since the …

The dynamics of double slab subduction
We use numerical models to investigate the dynamics of two interacting slabs with parallel
trenches. Cases considered are: a single slab reference, outward dipping slabs (out-dip) …

Does subduction-induced mantle flow drive backarc extension?
Backarc extension is a characteristic feature of many narrow subduction zones.
Seismological and geochemical studies imply the occurrence of mantle flow around the …
