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.
