4) how do you explain Anatolia's tectonics? (i live in ?stanbul, i
have to ask this question)

You have to look at the GPS velocities

Note that Africa and Europa are immobile relatively to each over (no
collision there).
The surface movement are linked to decollement and overthrusting of
different pieces of lithosphere. The origin of the motion is, you guess
it, related to mantle upwelling (a mantle plume if you prefer that term)
pushing away the lithosphere.

actually subduction is pulling the anatolia

You probably refer to a slab retreat, don't you?
But slab retreat means "slab pull"
Then you have a big issue, because the stress inside a slab is
compressive(*) => no slab pull, no slab retreat.

not at all. i meant sundcutian pulling anatolia.

How is it pulling if there is no pull?
Or may be you have a personnal interpretation of how subduction could
pull anatolia. Could you describe it, please?


subucting material can pull.
