Fig. 4

Evolution of partial terrane detachment mode (Mode-II). The widths of the strong and weak terranes are 1200 and 700 km, respectively. The reference density of the lithospheric mantle of both the strong and weak terranes is the same as the asthenosphere. Time of convergence is shown in each panel. Colors of rock types are as in Fig. 2a. White numbered lines are isotherms plotted every 300 °C starting from 100 °C
