S-velocity modeling and schematic image of water transportation

Caption

(a) Shear velocity contrast between the Al-rich hydrous layer (including Al-phase D) and the dry mantle for two model compositions: hydrous pyrolite (h-pyrolite) and hydrous harzburgite (h-Harzburgite). (b) Hypothetical mechanisms of water transportation in the subduction zone from the shallower lithosphere to the uppermost lower mantle by hydrogen transfer between hydrous phases and melts (modified from Pamato et al., 2014).
