Data from: Ongoing India-Eurasia collision predominantly driven by Sumatra-Java slab pull

Continued India-Eurasia convergence since the early Paleogene has led to
the formation of the Tibetan Plateau. Yet the primary driving mechanisms
of this protracted convergence remain debated. Here we provide the
holistic quantification of various driving forces to this convergence
using high-resolution, plate-boundary-resolving global convection models.
We present six comparison models. The first grouping of models, comprising
Models 1 through 3, is designed to examine the role of plate-boundary
forces at the India-Tibet collision zone. With Model 1 being the reference
model, Models 2 and 3 examine the plate-boundary force at the India-Tibet
collision zone by varying the weak zone factor and the Indian slab
structure. The second grouping of models includes Models 1 and 4, focusing
on the role of plate-boundary forces at the Sumatra-Java boundary. The
third grouping, consisting of Models 1, 5, and 6, explores the effects of
basal drag beneath the Indo-Australian plate. For each model, we provide
raw data from global model calculations within the depth range of 0-400
km. Our study implies that slab pull from Sumatra-Java subduction is the
predominant driving force of India-Eurasia convergence.
