3 sources for · 0 against

Subduction zone geometry is heavily influenced by variables such as plate age and convergence rate, as demonstrated by multiple numerical modeling and geodynamic studies.

The effect of obliquity on temperature in subduction zones: insights from 3-D numerical modeling
2018 · cited by 32
Demonstrates how the geotherm and subduction zone characteristics vary as a function of subduction rate and the age of the subducting lithosphere.

The analysis

Papers 1, 6, and 7 explicitly examine the relationship between subduction geometry (such as dip, width, or temperature-derived geotherms) and parameters like plate age and convergence rate. The retrieved literature consistently supports the claim without major contradictions.
