摘要：
Subducted oceanic lithosphere is composed of two chemically distinct layers, namely basaltic (crustal) and peridotitic (mantle) layers. Recent mineral physics observations suggest that the crustal and mantle components of subducted oceanic lithosphere have distinct densities and viscosities. The deformation of such stratified oceanic lithosphere as it collides with the 660 km discontinuity is examined using a simple analytical model. It is shown that the separation of the crustal component can occur through a small scale folding (10-20 km) if the viscosity of the crustal (garnetite) layer is significantly higher than that of the surrounding mantle (similar to 10(21) Pa s) but is less than similar to 10(23) Pa s, leading to a garnet-enriched transition zone behind subduction zones.
