Model results showing predicted changes in the distribution of serpentine at 5 Ma time intervals. (a) Stalled-slab boundary condition; (b) Slab-gap thermal boundary condition with an initial 1,100°C boundary temperature (the inclined dashed line represents the bottom of the former forearc in both (a) and (b). (c) Water production curves with time for both models. Note the geological time scale over which water is released into the former forearc.
