Why has the Nazca plate slowed since the Neogene?

The classic example of the not-well-understood rapid change of tectonic plate motion is the increase and then decrease of the convergence rate between the Nazca and South America plates during the past 25-20 m.y. that coincided with the growth of the Andes Mountains. Currently, the decrease in conve...
