4 TRENCH ROLLBACK ADVANCE old slabs cold and heavy rollback BUT: cold old slabs are stiff good stress guide advance (Gerault et al., 212) Husson, 212 rollback is controlled primarily by mantle drag, slab rheology plays only minor role
5 TRENCH VELOCITY Funiciello et al., 28
6 NUMERICAL MODELING TRENCH ROLLBACK Target: find the parameters of slabs (rheological parameters, age?) that may control the trench migration Main focus: rheological description effects of nonlinear rheology

34 CONCLUSIONS SLAB STAGNATION AND ROLLBACK all modes display rollback (effect of ridge push?) relation between plate velocity and rollback most models predict slab stagnation in the transition zone slow slabs (due to higher friction on the contact) have slower rollback and penetrate to the lower mantle effect of higher astenospheric viscosity? more negatively buoyant slabs have faster rollback stiffer slabs have faster rollback (no reduction due to the periods of increased subduction velocity) implications of rollback periodicity to exhumation

What causes an earthquake? Plate movement causes pressure to build up along faults, or breaks, in the earth's crust. When the rocks cannot take any more pressure, the rock layers shift and an earthquake
