Discrete element modeling of continental deformation and volcanic spine extrusion

The India-Asia collision zone is an example of the largest present day continental deformation, which started about 55 Ma ago. Previous unscaled 2D modeling of such deformation did not address either the growth of topographic relief or localized faulting. Here, we use the YADE Discrete Element Metho...
