Island arcs, deep sea trenches, and back-arc basins /
Some basic problems related to thermo - mechanical aspects of trench -arc systems are discussed. The origin of high heat flow, volcanism and back arc basins, in particular, is considered from two basic models, i.e. the frictional heating model and the secondary mantle flow model. The possible effect...

| Summary: | Some basic problems related to thermo - mechanical aspects of trench -arc systems are discussed. The origin of high heat flow, volcanism and back arc basins, in particular, is considered from two basic models, i.e. the frictional heating model and the secondary mantle flow model. The possible effect of increasing subduction rate within the frictional model is considered also. |
