The Effect of a Weak Asthenospheric Layer on Surface Kinematics, Subduction Dynamics and Slab Morphology in the Lower Mantle

Cerpa, Nestor G. Sigloch, Karin Garel, Fanny

On Earth, the velocity at which subducting plates are consumed at their trenches (termed "subduction rate" herein) is typically 3 times higher than trench migration velocities. The subduction rate is also 5 times higher than estimated lower mantle slab sinking rates. Using simple kinematic analyses, we show that if this present-day "kinematic...

Caribbean plate boundaries control on the tectonic duality in the back-arc of the Lesser Antilles subduction zone during the Eocene

Cerpa, Nestor Hassani, Riad Arcay, Diane

The Eocene tectonic evolution of the easternmost Caribbean Plate (CP) boundary, i.e. the Lesser Antilles subduction zone (LASZ), is debated. Recents works shed light on a peculiar period of tectonic duality in the arc/back-arc regions. A compressional-to-transpressional regime occurred in the north, while rifting and seafloor spreading occurred...
