These animations show 8 models of subduction discussed in the manuscript "The influence of viscous slab rheology on numerical models of subduction". Plots are colored by viscosity. The models are, in order: constant viscosity e23 Pas, diffusion-only, dislocation-only, diffusion-dislocation, constant viscosity e25 Pas, 5 micron diffusion-dislocation, 500 micron grain size diffusion-dislocation, 1.3e24 viscosity cap diffusion-dislocation.
