Figure 1
The major subduction zones on Earth for which the trench-perpendicular trench migration velocity (vT
) has been calculated.
Figure 2
The proximity of subduction zone segments (200 km wide in trench-parallel extent) to the closest lateral slab edge, plotted against vT for all subduction zones on Earth.
Figure 5
Progressive evolution of four subduction zones with a different W (measured at the earliest time of the reconstruction).
