| Abstract | The geometries of trenches vary worldwide due to continuous plate boundary reorganization. When two trenches intersect to generate a corner, a subduction cusp is formed. Although subduction cusps are frequently observed throughout historical plate movement reconstructions, few studies have been conducted to explore the controlling factors of trench migration and slab morphology along subduction cusps. Here, we use a 3-D dynamic subduction model to explore the influence of the overriding plate strength, initial slab-pull force, and initial cusp angle on the evolution of subduction cusps. Our numerical model results suggest the following: (1) subduction cusps have a tendency to become smooth and disappear during the subduction process; (2) the slab dip angle is smallest in the diagonal direction of the subduction cusp, and a larger cuspate corner angle leads to a larger slab dip angle; (3) the asymmetric distribution of the overriding plate strength and initial slab-pull force determine the asymmetric evolutionary pathway of subduction cusps. Our results provide new insights for reconstructing the evolution of subduction cusps from seismological and geological observations. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
