A CONTINUUM MODEL OF CONTINENTAL DEFORMATION ABOVE SUBDUCTION ZONES - APPLICATION TO THE ANDES AND THE AEGEAN
Large-scale continental tectonics of back arc (extensional) and Andean-type (compressional) environments are investigated by using the thin viscous sheet model to calculate the deformation within the continental lithosphere that is subjected to horizontal forces on its plate boundaries and to basal...
