Two-Dimensional Geothermal Model of the Peruvian Andes above the Nazca Ridge Subduction
The aseismic Nazca Ridge produces localized flat-slab subduction beneath the South American margin at latitudes 10° to 15° S. The geological evolution and the spatio-temporal pattern of deformation of the upper plate have been strongly influenced by the presence of the flat slab. In this study, we i...
