Trench-parallel fast axes of seismic anisotropy due to fluid-filled cracks insubducting slabs
Subducting slabs experience deformation and metamorphism as they descend into the upper mantle. Thepresence of hydrous minerals gained through the interaction with sea water at mid-ocean ridges, transformfaults or the outer rise ensures that dehydration reactions will be important at deeper levels....
