Fig. 2: Modelled mantle flow beneath the Sunda margin.

a Mantle flow at 300 km depth in Model 1. Arrows for horizontal flow velocities, in color for the vertical velocity. b Mantle flow streamlines, in color for the vertical velocity. Positive vertical velocities represent mantle upwelling, whereas negative vertical velocities indicate mantle downwelling. In dark green the subducting lithosphere and blue for the subducting slab. Lower mantle in light green. a was created with open-source software Python and library Matplotlib, b with open-source software Paraview.
