  1. Six model configurations were tested by this study. The rheological parameters for anorthite are summarized in Table 2. The nomenclature of the model configuration is as follows: The first letter denotes water content (D, dry; W, wet), and the last letter denotes grain size (C, constant; E, equilibrium). The number between two letters denotes the total relative velocity in mm/year
