3-D thermo-mechanical laboratory modeling of plate-tectonics: modeling scheme, technique and first experiments
We present an experimental apparatus for 3-D thermo-mechanical analogue modeling of plate tectonic processes such as oceanic and continental subductions, arc-continent or continental collisions. The model lithosphere, made of temperature-sensitive elasto-plastic analogue materials with strain soften...
