Subduction erosion processes with application to southern Mexico
Finite-element numerical models of ocean-continent subduction are used to investigate the roles of crustal frictional strength, subduction angle, and convergence rate in subduction erosion processes. These models exhibit two distinct modes of subduction erosion: (1) slow and steady, removin...
