Results of high-pressure experiments on samples of hydrated mantle rocks show that the serpentine mineral antigorite is stable to ∼720°C at 2 gigapascals, to ∼690°C at 3 gigapascals, and to ∼620°C at 5 gigapascals. The breakdown of antigorite to forsterite plus enstatite under these conditions produces 13 percent H$_2$O by weight to depths of 150 t...
