The Role of Slab Remnants in Modulating Free Subduction Dynamics: A 3‐D Spherical Numerical Study

Abstract Seismic tomography of Earth's mantle images abundant slab remnants, often located in close proximity to active subduction systems. The impact of such remnants on the dynamics of subduction remains underexplored. Here, we use simulations of multi‐material free subduction in a 3‐D spheri...
