Settings used for the numerical simulations. a Profile used in the numerical simulation. The shapes of the prescribed guides are calculated using the PHS slab (red lines) and PAC slab (dashed blue lines) model (Fig. 1). b Schematic figure of a 2D box-type thermal convection model. The dotted black line indicates the prescribed guide of the PHS slab used in the numerical simulation. The dotted light-blue line shows the guide of the PAC slab. The red dots indicate the positions of the intersection that control the dip angle of the PAC slab guide
