		The orientation of this corridor, roughly parallel to the proposed southern edge of the subducting Juan de Fuca slab, combined with a recent magma injection event into the deep crust beneath the north shore of Lake Tahoe, is interpreted to reflect asthenospheric upwelling along the edge of the slab.
		The younger basalt magmas were generated from similar material under the northeast Hokkaido during upwelling at 7-9 Ma, at lower temperatures and by smaller degrees of partial melting.
		The older Ohmu magma may be derived from the subcontinental lithospheric mantle, which was thinned by the upwelling of the asthenospheric mantle, which is characterized by undepleted Sr and Nd isotopic compositions, and lower Zr/Y ratios than the upwelled asthenospheric mantle material.
