Horizontal Force Required for Subduction Initiation at Passive Margins With Constraints From Slab Detachment
Subduction zones are essential drivers of plate tectonics. However, the processes causing subduction zone initiation (SZI), involving the formation of a new plate boundary, and the forces required remain disputed. Here, we focus on horizontally forced SZI at passive margins and quantify the horizont...
