Very low to zero shallow dip angles are observed at several moderately young subduction zones with an active trenchward moving overriding plate. We have investigated the effects of latent heat for this situation, where ...

Results of high resolution seismic tomography showing subducting slabs deflected in the transition zone and thickened in the lower mantle seem to call for slab material weaker than inferred from mineral physics deformation ...
