Movie S1. Movie of Free model showing the subduction evolution of experiment 23
25
(Free model) from top-view and side-view perspectives. The subducting plate and
26
overriding plate are both free. Note that the only driving force of subduction is the
27
negative buoyancy of the sinking slab. Further note that white passive markers placed
28
on the top-surface of the overriding plate are used to track the deformation of the
29
overriding plate.

Movie S2. Movie of SP-Fixed model showing the subduction evolution of
32
experiment 24 (SP-Fixed) from top-view and side-view perspectives. The subducting
33
plate is fixed to the sidewall of the tank while overriding plate is free. Note that the
34
only driving force of subduction is the negative buoyancy of the sinking slab. Further
35
note that white passive markers placed on the top-surface of the overriding plate are
36
used to track the deformation of the overriding plate.

38
Movie S3. Movie of OP-Fixed model showing the subduction evolution of
39
experiment 25 (OP-Fixed) from top-view and side-view perspectives. The overriding
40
plate is fixed to the sidewall of the tank while subducting plate is free. Note that the
41
only driving force of subduction is the negative buoyancy of the sinking slab. Further
42
note that white passive markers placed on the top-surface of the overriding plate are
43
used to track the deformation of the overriding plate.
44
45
Movie S4. Movie of SP-OP-Fixed model showing the subduction evolution of
46
experiment 27 (SP-OP-Fixed) from top-view and side-view perspectives. The
47
subducting and overriding plates are both fixed to the corresponding sidewalls of the
48
tank. Note that the only driving force of subduction is the negative buoyancy of the
49
sinking slab. Further note that white passive markers placed on the top-surface of the
50
overriding plate are used to track the deformation of the overriding plate.
