Extended Data Fig. 6: Compositional fields of the models.
From: India–Eurasia convergence speed-up by passive-margin sediment subduction
a, no incoming plate sediments, b, 1 km-thick incoming plate sediments with pore pressure 0.60, and c, 1 km-thick incoming plate sediments with pore pressure 0.99 roughly at the stages of the (1) kinematically constrained subduction, (2) free slab sinking, and (3) interaction with the 660 km discontinuity. The slab lengths corresponding to the three stages are 300 km, 400 km and 800 km respectively. The white arrows represent the direction and magnitude of the velocity.
