2D visco-elasto-plastic subduction models in the presence of a high density and viscosity continental block: a case study for the slab geometry beneath the Kii Peninsula, southwest Japan

Abstract The Philippine Sea (PHS) plate embracing the Shikoku Basin subducts with a relatively young age varying between ~ 15 and 26 Ma. It exhibits a diversity of subduction styles along the Nankai Trough, from shallow beneath Shikoku and Chugoku regions to steep subduction beneath the Kii Peninsul...
