Serpentinization, Deformation, and Seismic Anisotropy in the Subduction Mantle Wedge

Abstract Antigorite is a hydrous sheet silicate with strongly anisotropic seismic and rheological properties. Hydrous minerals such as antigorite have been invoked to explain numerous geologic observations within subduction zones including intermediate‐depth earthquakes, arc volcanism, the persisten...
