Episodic back-arc spreading centre jumps controlled by transform fault to overriding plate strength ratio

Back-arc spreading centre jumps have been suggested to be controlled by a number of different drivers. Here, the authors, using 3D numerical models, show that transform faults can trigger back-arc spreading centre jumps, without the need of any ad hoc factors.
