Weakening of the subduction interface and its effects on surface heat flow, slab dehydration, and mantle wedge serpentinization
The shallow part of the interface between the subducting slab and the overriding mantle
wedge is evidently weakened by the presence of hydrous minerals and high fluid pressure …
