The Role of Sediment Accretion and Buoyancy on Subduction Dynamics and Geometry

Abstract Subducted sediments are thought to lubricate the subduction interface and promote faster plate speeds. However, global observations are not clear‐cut on the relationship between the amount of sediments and plate motion. Sediments are also thought to influence slab dip, but variations in sub...
