Melt Focusing Along Permeability Barriers at Subduction Zones and the Location of Volcanic Arcs
Abstract Fluids released from dehydration reactions occurring in subducting slabs trigger partial melting in the mantle wedge. The resulting magma rises through the overlying mantle wedge and lithosphere and forms arc volcanoes at subduction zones. In general, the location of the volcanic arc is nar...
