The effects of deformation energetics in Long-term tectonics modeling

All the figures and scripts are made for the manuscript entitled as "Incorporating Deformation Energetics in Long-Term Tectonic Modeling". First four figures are associated to the three benchmarks, where we compared the semi-analytic solution of the full energy balance equation with the numerical solutions from DES3D, an unstructured finite element solver for long-term tectonic deformation.

Rest of the figures represents the five models of the evolution of large offset normal fault. In these figures, we systematically explore the impact of the temperature arises from the full energy balance equation.
