Abstract
Received 29 March 1996; accepted 3 July 1996 Abstract The aim of this study is to investigate the influences of plate kinematics and of the downgoing slab's geometry on internal dynamics and thermal structure in the vicinity of a subduction zone. A systematic study depending on these parameters has been carried out based on a two-dimensional finite differences code. In a convective domain representing the upper mantle, plate displacements are...
