Factors on the Mesozoic Transition From Flat to Steep Subduction of the Paleo‐Pacific Plate Beneath South China: Thickened Oceanic Crust and Subduction Rate
Abstract In the Mesozoic, the age of Paleo‐Pacific plate that flatly subducted beneath the South China was ∼80 Ma, resulting in a cold and dense oceanic slab. The transition process from flat to steep subduction of this old slab and factors that affect it are still unclear. Using 2‐D thermomechanica...
