Finite-element numerical models of ocean-continent subduction are used to investigate the roles of crustal frictional strength, subduction angle, and convergence rate in subduction erosion processes. These models exhibit two distinct modes of subduction erosion: (1) slow and steady, removing small blocks of material continually, and (2) fast and non-steady, removing a large forearc block in a single event. The slow mode, called edge-weakening subduction erosion, is enhanced by steeper subduction angles but acts to shallow the subduction angle at crustal depths. The fast mode, called internal-weakening subduction erosion, is enhanced by shallow subduction angles but acts to steepen the subduction angle at crustal depths....
