Caption

(a) Geological units and earthquake distribution of an oceanic subduction zone. The orange shadow beneath the volcanic arc represents partially molten areas and magma channels. (b) Thermal structure of an oceanic subduction zone, modified from modeling results of Peacock and Wang (2021) for NE Japan. Black dashed lines are isotherms in ºC. Abbreviations: SSE, slow slip events; ETS, episodic tremor and slip.
