摘要: Two problematic aspects of deep seismic zones are investigated: the maximum depth (about 700 km) activity and relative in energy release 500-700 km range. It is shown that both features can be accounted for by a model based on thermal assimilation. This implies no barrier required at 650-700 to explain observations.
