The electrical conductivity during incipient melting in the oceanic low velocity zone

A low viscosity layer in the upper mantle, the Asthenosphere, is a requirement for plate tectonics(1). The seismic low velocities and the high electrical conductivities of the Asthenosphere are attributed either to sub-solidus water-related defects in olivine minerals(2-4) or to a few volume percent...
