Explore cross-sections of continental collision and oceanic plate subduction in contractional tectonic settings through the eyes of Mario Del Castello's PhD sandbox experiments. Discover the significance of analog models in studying past events like the India-Tibet collision and present-day phenomena in the Andes. Dive deep into the reasons behind making analog models and how they have evolved over time.
