Possibly triggered by polarity changes along strike of the collision, the postcollisional trenches are offset and of opposed polarity. Their combined motion leads to rotation of the convergence system relative to its foreland areas. Examples of such rotating systems are also found in the circum-Mediterranean orogenic complexes.
