The Izu-Bonin subduction zone in the Northwest Pacific is an ideal location for understanding mantle dynamics such as cold lithosphere subduction. The slab produces a lateral thermal anomaly, inducing local topographi...
We are grateful for the thoughtful and constructive comments provided by two anonymous reviewers and the editor(Dr.Wei Leng).We also thank Jinfeng Hu for his contributions to this work at an early stage.Seismic data from the USArray network were accessed via the Data Management Center(DMC)of the Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology(IRIS).Some figures were prepared using Generic Mapping Tools(GMT,Wessel and Smith,1999);GNUPLOT.This work was funded by the National Natural Science Foundation of China(grant no.91858205).
The 660-km discontinuity that separates the Earth's upper and lower mantle has primarily been attributed to phase changes in olivine and other minerals.Resolving the sharpness is essential for predicting the compositi...

The Izu-Bonin arc system is sediment-poor(~400 m thick with no accretionary prism)and,therefore,the influence of the altered oceanic crust(AOC)is most likely the source of the documented along-arc lava compositional v...
