HC affects the thermal structure at depths > 20 km with respect to models with no HC.
HC does not affect the depth of eclogitization in the CNS section.
HC affects the depth of eclogitization by 15 km in the EPR section.
Nothwest trend in wedge hydration is not explained by changes in HC effiency.
Trend is likely related to along-strike changes in water stored in the Cocos plate.
