Subduction zone fluids and arc magmas conducted by lithospheric deformed regions beneath the central Andes

Abstract Dehydration of the oceanic subducting slab promotes the formation of magmatic arcs, intra-slab intermediate-depth seismicity, and hydration of the overlying mantle wedge. However, the complex permeability structure of the overriding plate controls the magma and fluid migration and their acc...
