Lithospheric-Scale Stresses and Shear Localization Induced by Density-Driven Instabilities
The initiation of subduction requires the formation of lithospheric plates which mostly deform at their edges. Shear heating is a possible candidate for producing such localized deformation. In this thesis we employ a 2D model of the mantle with a visco-elasto-plastic rheology and enabled shear heat...
