==Seismicity== The intense interaction between the overriding and underthrusting plates in the forearc regions have shown to evolve strong coupling mechanisms which result in megathrust earthquakes such as the Tohoku-oki earthquake which occurred off the Pacific coast of Northeast Japan (Tian and Liu. 2013). These mega thrust earthquakes may be correlated with low values of heat flow generally associated with forearc regions. Geothermal data shows a heat flow of ~30β40 mW/m<sup>2</sup>, which indicates cold, strong mantle.<ref name="Tian and Liu 2012">{{cite journal |last1=Tian |first1=L. |last2=Liu |first2=Lucy |title=Geophysical properties and seismotectonics of the Tohoku forearc region. |journal=Geological Survey of Japan |pages=235β244 |year=2013 |volume=64 |doi=10.1016/j.jseaes.2012.12.023 |bibcode=2013JAESc..64..235T}}</ref>
