Flow in the Earth's asthenospheric mantle is typically assumed to be driven by motions of the overlying and adjacent plates, suggesting flow rates comparable to plate velocities. However, arc-parallel shear-wave splitting and geochemical observations imply along-strike flow in the Lau basin, presenting a challenge to geodynamic models of plate-driven subduction systems as plate-driven flow models...
