So far, the subducting part of the slab was always straight. We can also create a curved slab by using the `addSlab!` function. This uses a parametric representation of the slab and is a bit more involved than the `addBox!` function.

So far, the subducting part of the slab was always straight. We can also create a curved slab by using the `add_slab!` function. This uses a parametric representation of the slab and is a bit more involved than the `add_box!` function.
Next, we should define a `Trench` structure, which contains info about the trench which goes in 3D from `Start` - `End` coordinates (`x`,`y`)-coordinates respectively. As we are dealing with a 2D model, we set the `y`-coordinates to -100.0 and 100.0 respectively.

Other parameters to be specified are `Thickness` (Slab thickness), `θ_max` (maximum slab dip angle), `Length` (length of slab), and `Lb` length of bending zoneof slab
The `addSlab!` function has a few more interesting options. You can, for example, specify a weak decoupling layer above the slab which adds a weak layer between the subducting and overriding slab.

You can also indicate a thermal structure for the slab, which can increase from a halfspace cooling model (of the horizontal part of the slab) to a slab that is heated by the surrounding mantle below a decouping depth `d_decoupling`.

Our starting basis is the example above with ridge and overriding slab
Lets start with defining the horizontal part of the overriding plate. Note that we define this twice with different thickness to deal with the bending subduction area:
Finally, it is often nice to see the deformation of the plate when it subducts. A simple way to do that is to put a `stripes` on top using `addStripes`, which has the same phase as the subducting crust.

Before adding specific geological features, a general simplified model setup is necessary. The construction is made by using the `addBox!` function. For the model the discontinuities are in 15, 45, 145, and 945 km depth.
