Answer:
The low-velocity zone (LVZ) in the upper mantle is characterized by low seismic wave velocities, high seismic energy attenuation, and high electrical conductivity. ... The LVZ plays a major role in plate tectonics, providing a relatively low-viscosity region on which lithospheric plates can slide with very little friction.
