The relevance of the material presented in this article is related to the identification of the dependence of the anomalous heat flux magnitude on the angle and velocity of lithospheric subduction, and assuming the constancy of the effective viscosity of the upper mantle material and the conductive mechanism of dissipative heat transfer. We analytically solved the equation of dissipative heat transport in a mantle wedge over a flatly subducting lithospheric plate on the basis of the method estim
