Very impressed with that one.

Apparently the deepest in the region in the record.

Apparently the pacific plate descends in lurches, so this is catching up with the stuff that is down there already & is being pushed from above (squelch).

Appears that the material it is squelching is still colder than the surrounds and therefore still solid.

Have a nice day: Ag
