- Abstract
The article discusses the study on the use of numerical models of slab migration in continental collision zones. It says that the continental collision is an intrinsic feature of plate tectonics. The study performs a parametric study of the rheological and geometrical influence on subduction dynamics during the continental lithosphere subduction and the study found that slab starts to advance once the continent enters the subduction zone.
