The study aims to evaluate how asthenospheric flow affects lithospheric deformation in various tectonic settings.
Developed a physical analogue modelling system for asthenospheric flow.
Created a constant volume flow using an inlet-outlet system to control flow velocity.
Induced asthenospheric flow to study its effects on lithospheric deformation.
Validated findings against slab retreat-driven back-arc extension in the Carpathians-Pannonian system.
Analogue models demonstrated significant asthenospheric flow effects on lithospheric deformation.
The new approach provided detailed insights into strain partitioning and tectonic variability.
Findings suggest that asthenospheric flow is a crucial factor in the extension of the Pannonian Basin.
