Effects of rheological stratification and elasticity of lithosphere on subduction initiation

The breaking and bending of rigid and elastic lithosphere was probably essential for the initiation of plate subduction, although how this occurred is still poorly understood. Here we test effects of rheological stratification and elasticity of lithosphere on subduction initiation, which are possibl...
