Fig. 4: Subduction-initiation regime diagram.
From: Rapid subduction initiation and magmatism in the Western Pacific driven by internal vertical forces
The diagram summarises of all the models run during this study. The magnitudes of the vertical pull force, applied to the Pacific plate, and the external horizontal push force were varied. *Horizontal compression beyond what is needed to balance the initial, internally generated horizontal forces (see section S3). The two models described in more detail in the main text are highlighted with a grey circle.
