“…In normal subduction circumstances, a steep slab subduction is a favorable situation for arc magma production (Peacock, 1990) and back‐arc extension (Sdrolias & Müller, 2006; Yang et al., 2018). Flat slab subduction is thought to greatly facilitate the transmission of compressive stress to the overriding plate (Lallemand et al., 2005; Liu et al., 2021; Peng et al., 2021), trench‐ward migration of the magmatic arc during the retreat of the flat slab (Wu, Yang, et al., 2019), and development of a prominent, syn‐flat slab magmatic lull (Henderson et al., 1984; Hu & Liu, 2016). Although previous studies have revealed the effect of slab dips on the tectono‐magmatic evolution in normal slab subduction, the effect may be opposite in the circumstances of mid‐ocean ridge subduction.…”
