The The migration of arc magmatism that is a fundamental aspect of plate tectonics may reflect Toba caldera that occurs in the transition area the complex interaction between subduction zone processes and regional tectonics.

In contrast, east of the Investiga- tor fracture zone, older Cretaceous-age crust is currently subducting beneath central and south- ern Sumatra (Jacob et al., 2014). Consequently, beneath northern Sumatra, younger and more buoyant oceanic lithosphere resists subduction, and this manifests as complexly folded subduct- ed lithosphere in the mantle transition zone, as imaged by tomographic studies (Pesicek et al., 2008; Hall and Spakman, 2015). The other, and arguably more significant, con- trol is progressive transition of the tectonic setting from oblique subduction to predominantly strike- slip movement that we argue to have begun dur- ing Miocene times as a result of the far-field ef- fect of propagating block extrusion driven by the India-Eurasia collision (Tapponnier et al., 1982). We propose a conceptual model (Fig. 4) to illus- trate how such propagating extrusion may have interacted with regional tectonics in the west- ern part of Southeast Asia, confined by dextral movement of the Sagaing-Sumatran fault system, initiating at ca. 20–15 Ma on the Sagaing fault (Bertrand et al., 1999) and ca. 23–15 Ma on the Sumatran fault (Curray et al., 1979).
