Influence of the Thickness of the Overriding Plate on Convergence Zone Dynamics

Abstract The important role played by the upper plate in convergence zones dynamics has long been underestimated but is now more and more emphasized. However, the influence of its thickness and/or strength on orogenic systems evolution remains largely unknown. Here we present results from 3D thermo‐...
