Pliocene arc lavas generated in the same subduction zone. Excepting the heavy rare earth 27 elements, the adakites and arc lavas also possess similar ratios of incompatible elements 28 suggesting that the adakites were ultimately derived from melting of the mantle wedge. 29The wide range of SiO 2 in the adakites and its strong correlation with trace element 30 concentrations and ratios indicate two possible mechanisms for generating the adakitic 31 signature. (1) Adakitic melt was produced from basaltic arc magma by fractional 32 crystallisation of a garnet-bearing assemblage. (2) Solidified basaltic rock containing 33 garnet melted to yield adakitic magma. In either case the basaltic precursor was generated 34 from fluid-modified mantle then differentiated within the garnet stability field. In Surigao 35 this requires differentiation within mantle. The Surigao example suggests that any 36 subduction zone has the potential to produce adakitic magma if basalt crystallises at 37 sufficient depth. This has important implications for the geodynamics of modern and 38 ancient subduction zones that have generated similar rocks. 39

The Lesser Antilles arc is only one of two subduction zones where slow‐spreading Atlantic lithosphere is consumed. Slow‐spreading may result in the Atlantic lithosphere being more pervasively and heterogeneously hydrated than fast‐spreading Pacific lithosphere, thus affecting the flux of fluids into the deep mantle. Understanding the distribution of seismicity can help unravel the effect of fluids on geodynamic and seismogenic processes. However, a detailed view of local seismicity across the whole Lesser Antilles subduction zone is lacking. Using a temporary ocean‐bottom seismic network we invert for hypocenters and 1D velocity model. A systematic search yields a 27 km thick crust, reflecting average arc and back‐arc structures. We find abundant intraslab seismicity beneath Martinique and Dominica, which may relate to the subducted Marathon and/or Mercurius Fracture Zones. Pervasive seismicity in the cold mantle wedge corner and thrust seismicity deep on the subducting plate interface suggest an unusually wide megathrust seismogenic zone reaching ∼65  km depth. Our results provide an excellent framework for future understanding of regional seismic hazard in eastern Caribbean and the volatile cycling beneath the Lesser Antilles arc.
