TEMPERATURES IN ZONES OF STEADY-STATE UNDERTHRUSTING OF YOUNG OCEANIC LITHOSPHERE

Rapid conduction of heat through the top surface of young oceanic lithosphere can contribute at least some of the heat necessary for high-temperature-low-pressure metamorphism of rock buried in subduction zones and, perhaps, for melting in such environments. We show that the steady-state temperature...
