Slab Dip Variation

Slab Dip Variation is a geological construct that characterizes the variability in the angle of subduction of a tectonic plate beneath another along a convergent margin, distinguishing it from uniform slab dip models by accounting for spatial and temporal changes in dip angle due to slab buoyancy, mantle flow, and overriding plate interactions.
