CONTINUOUS SUBDUCTION OF A LITHOSPHERIC PLATFORM NEAR AN OCEANIC TRENCH
S. V. Solov'ev and V. K. Bulgakov UDC 536.25 We investigate the convective heat exchange of a lithospheric platform in the zone of subduction during its submergence into the earth's mantle. We consider the effect of the angle of submergence, the velocity of motion of the lithospheric platform over the day surface of the ground, and the coefficient of thermal expansion on the heat exchange, the flow structure, and the submergence depth.
