Horizontal versus vertical plate motions
We review both present and past motions at major plate boundaries, which have the horizontal component in average 10 to 100 times faster (10–100 mm/yr) than the vertical component (0.01–1 mm/yr) in all geodynamic settings. The steady faster horizontal velocity of the lithosphere with respect to the upward or downward velocities at plate 5 boundaries supports dominating tangential forces acting ...

متن کاملPacific trench motions controlled by the asymmetric plate configuration
[1] We present a novel explanation for absolute trench-normal motions of slabs surrounding the Pacific. Rapid subduction-zone retreat on the eastern side of the Pacific and slow advance in the west can result from the large-scale asymmetric plate configuration. We use simple fluid dynamics to explain the mechanical background of this hypothesis, and we use the results of a simple finite differe...
