Upper- and mid-mantle interaction between the Samoan plume and the Tonga–Kermadec slabs

Plume-slab interaction and its surface expression remain poorly understood. Here, the authors compare 3-D anisotropic tomography and geodynamical models, and show that the stagnation and fastest trench retreat of the Tonga slab are consistent with an interaction with the Samoan plume and the Hikuran...
