Figure 17. Simplified drawing of the proposed model. A three-dimensional display of the bathymetry is shown, based on the same compilation of bathymetric data described in the caption of Figure 2. The structure is viewed at an angle from the ESE. The horizontal part in the middle of the figure is the carbonate platform. The asymmetric arching is clearly observed with the smooth dip to the north and steeper dip to the south. Underneath the bathymetry we have drawn the assumed continuations of the subducted slabs, which are at a different scale than the bathymetry.
