Phase Transformation Assisted Shear Faulting at High Pressure and Temperature in Fe-rich Olivine: Implications for Deep-Focus Earthquakes
RUPTURE AND DEFORMATION PROCESSES, FROM SLOW TO FAST AND FROM MICRO TO MACRO I ORAL
mineral and rock physics | 14 december 2023
Timothy Officer, Man Xu, Feng Shi, Patrick Cordier...
Deep-focus earthquakes (DFEQ; ~300-700 km depth) remain puzzling since ordinary brittle failure is prohibited under the high pressure/high temperature...
