The Global Range of Temperatures on Convergent Plate Interfaces

Abstract We present accurate analytical expressions for temperatures on the upper parts of convergent plate boundaries where there are rigid plates both above and below the subduction interface. We expand on earlier formulations, which considered planar interfaces of small dip, to give expressions s...
