Effects of slab geometry and obliquity on the interplate thermal regime associated with the subduction of three-dimensionally curved oceanic plates
We investigated the relationships among slab geometry, obliquity, and the thermal regime associated with the subduction of oceanic plates using a three-dimensional (3D) parallelepiped thermal convection model. Various models with convex and concave slab shapes were constructed in the numerical simul...
