  abstract = {{S}lab dip controls the state of stress in an overriding plate and affects mountain building. {A}nalog and numerical models have shown variations in tectonic regime induced by slab folding over the 660 km depth discontinuity zone in orthogonal convergence. {H}ere using a three-dimensional model of oblique subduction (30 degrees) and accounting for free top surfaces, we show how slab folding generates an along-strike slab dip segmentation, inducing variations in topography of the overriding plate. {W}hen the subducting plate begins to curve forward, the elevation height rises inland and varies along the trench from 5 km to 2 km. {T}he {A}ndes are a suitable natural zone to compare our results with because of its linear margin and well-constrained plates kinematics. {T}hus, we provide a new explanation to the general decrease in elevation from the central to southern {A}ndes, which still remains to be combined with other 3-{D} mechanisms to explain the actual {A}ndean topography.},
