After Kincaid and Griffiths, G3, 2004 Why is Activity Focused at Newberry and along the HLP? A consequence of slab rollback and flow around the southern edge of the Juan-de-Fuca Down-dip subduction, No behind arc activity Slab steepening Trench parallel rear arc volcanism Plus edge flow Trench perpendicular rear arc volcanism
Conclusions: 1.Newberry primitive basalts include both calc-alkaline and tholeitic-trend lavas. Slab components (high Ba/Nb) strongly focused to center of Newberry shield. 2.Slab component has Pb isotopic characteristics similar to Pacific Northwest offshore sediments. 1% or less by mass of sediment plus mantle can explain isotope variation. 3.Newberry is underlain by a very local region of low seismic velocity. Implies presence of melt and/or fluid. 4.Westward propagating HLP magmatic trace with current point-source focus at Newberry consistent with wedge flow induced by steepening dip and flow around southern edge of the subducting Juan de Fuca plate.
