Extended Data Fig. 7: Horizontal stress map 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 of 0.60, and c, 1 km-thick incoming plate sediments with pore pressure of 0.90 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. In this figure, a positive stress indicates an extensional tectonic setting, and a negative stress indicates a compressional tectonic setting.
