Palinspastic map reconstructions and plate motion studies reveal that switches in subduction polarity and the opening of slab gaps beneath the Alps and Dinarides were triggered by slab tearing and involved widespread intracrustal and crust–mantle decoupling during Adria–Europe collision. In particular, the switch from south-directed European subduc...
