Asymmetric deformation in the backarc region of the Kuril arc, Northwest Pacific: New insights from analogue modeling

The Eocene to middle/late Miocene tectonic evolution of the Kuril arc and backarc region has been simulated with analogue experiments. The experiments simulate asymmetric deformation in the overriding plate due to anticlockwise rollback of the subducting
