• Hydration of oceanic floor at MOR• More and deeper hydration due to outer
rise faults (bending at trench)• Dehydration of hydrous minerals• Fluid moves up into warmer mantle
which melts.
Melting at subduction zones
Why are there deep Earthquakes?
• Normal stress across any fault plane is so high that you would need enormous stresses to cause it to move (i.e. high frictional strength.
