==Examples== One good example is the Mariana forearc, where scientists have done extensive research. In this setting there is an erosive margin and forearc slope which consists of 2 km high and 30 km diameter serpentine- [[mud volcano]]es. The erosive properties of these volcanoes are consistent with the metamorphic grades (blueschists) expected for this region in the forearc. There is evidence from geothermal data and models which show the slab-mantle interface, levels of friction and the cool oceanic [[lithosphere]] at the trench.<ref name="Kearey et al. 2006" /> Other examples are: * Central Andean Forearc * Banda Forearc * Savu-Wetar Forearc * Luzon arc-forearc * Tohoku Forearc * Between [[Cordillera Occidental (Bolivia)|Western Cordillera]] and Peru-Chile Trench
