Illustration of the two endmember forcing states characterising subduction zone initiation (SZI). The dominant forcing as outlined in Crameri et al. (2020) is either – but never exclusively – vertical (i.e., some combination of plate buoyancy force, the force from any surface load, and vertical mantle-flow force), or horizontal (i.e., some combination of tectonic force and horizontal mantle-flow force).
