How can those conditions change during an orogenic event?
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: The basal friction can change due to changes in fluid pressure and fluid availability. Fluids decrease the basal friction, and dryer conditions may occur once metamorphic reactions have depleted the rocks in fluids. The strength of the rocks within the wedge may decrease if many faults and fractures form within the wedge, and erosion may change with climate changes (wet climate causing more erosion than dry climate).
