Low-velocity region in the PHS. a Schematic view for the interpretation of the low-velocity region along line d–d′ in c. b Distribution of the low-velocity region in this study. Areas shaded yellow and black show the locations of the low-velocity region in the PHS and the normal mantle of the PHS, respectively. c Distribution of the low-velocity region and serpentine seamounts. Yellow and red circles indicate the locations of the low-velocity anomaly according to this and previous studies (Kamimura et al. 2002; Nakajima and Hasegawa 2010) and possible serpentine seamounts (Ishii et al. 1992), respectively. The square shows the study area of Ishii et al. (1992)
