Supplemental material: Emergent and animated COLLADA models of the Tonga Trench and Samoa Archipelago: Implications for geoscience modeling, education, and research

Geosphere, April 2012, v. 8, p. 491-506, doi:10.1130/GES00758.1, Model 4 - In this scenario, the slab encounters resistance to subduction due to mid-mantle phase and viscosity changes (430 km is marked by the olivine-spinal transition, whereas the spinel-perovskite transition occurs at 670 km) and it develops a bend that rolls back.
