GRAVITY EFFECT OF DOWNGOING LITHOSPHERIC SLABS BENEATH ISLAND ARCS
Recent geophysical data from the northwestern Pacific suggest that the total gravity effect of a downgoing slab beneath island arcs is small and limited in extent to the region of the island arc and trench. The total effect is small either because the density contrast associated with the downgoing s...
