A new regime of slab-mantle coupling at the plate interface and its possible implications for the distribution of volcanoes

We investigate the effects of a thin, low viscosity layer just above the subducting slab on 3D thermal and flow structure in the mantle wedge by taking Northeast Japan as an example. The low viscosity layer assumed here is needed to explain the observed low surface heat flow and low seismic attenuat...
