Figure F1. Location map showing sites drilled during Leg 195. The geochemical observatory was installed at Site 1200, and the International Ocean Network (ION) seismic observatory was installed at Site 1201. Site 1202 was drilled to study the history of the Kuroshio Current.
Figure F2. Bathymetric map of the southern Mariana forearc (250-m contour intervals) showing location of all forearc seamounts sampled to date. Site 1200 was drilled on South Chamorro Seamount during Leg 195.
Figure F3. Schematic cross section through the Mariana system showing various types of associations of serpentine mud volcanoes with faulting in the forearc wedge. Strike-slip faulting associated with along-strike extension and vertical tectonics related to seamount subduction both play a part in the tectonic deformation of the forearc and provide avenues for the ascent of slab-derived fluids and fault gouge from both the dècollement and the lithosphere of the overriding plate. Decarbonation reactions in the downgoing plate probably take place between ~15 and 20 km.
