A 3-D kinematic ThermoMechanical model of the Central Andes Subduction Zone at 18°-26°S.

These files contain physical parameters obtained with the preferred thermomechanical model presented in the paper:

J. Araya Vargas, J. Sanhueza & G. Yáñez (2021). The role of temperature in the along-margin distribution of volcanism and seismicity in subduction zones: insights from 3-D thermomechanical modelling of the Central Andean margin. Tectonics, 40(11), e2021TC006879. 10.1029/2021TC006879

The README file contains a description of the files, coordinate reference system, and a summary of the modeling setup. The detailed description of the employed thermomechanical modeling methodology is provided in the main text and Supporting Information of Araya Vargas, Sanhueza & Yáñez (2021).

DATABASES FIELDS:
pMPa = mantle flow dynamic pressure [MPa].
tempC = whole model temperature [°C].
VXmmyr = mantle flow velocity, X-axis component [mm/yr].
VYmmyr = mantle flow velocity, Y-axis component [mm/yr].
VZmmyr = mantle flow velocity, Z-axis component [mm/yr].
Xkm = X-axis position [km]. World Mercator coordinate system [EPSG code: 54004].
Ykm = Y-axis position [km]. World Mercator coordinate system [EPSG code: 54004].
Zkm = Z-axis position [km]. Z-coordinate is reported as height from the mean sea level.
