COMPARISON OF SMECTITE- AND ILLITE-RICH GOUGE FRICTIONAL PROPERTIES: APPLICATION TO THE UPDIP LIMIT OF THE SEISMOGENIC ZONE ALONG SUBDUCTION MEGATHRUSTS

Saffer D.M.; Marone C. (2003)

Along plate boundary subduction thrusts, the transformation of smectite to illite within fault gouge at temperatures of ~150°C is one of the key mineralogical changes thought to control the updip limit of seismicity. If ...
IMPLICATIONS OF HYDROSTATIC PORE PRESSURES AND HIGH CRUSTAL STRENGTH FOR THE DEFORMATION OF INTRAPLATE LITHOSPHERE

Zoback M.D.; Townend J. (2001)

Observations from deep boreholes at several locations worldwide indicate that (i) hydrostatic pore pressures persist to depths of as much as 12km in the upper crust, (ii) the brittle crust is in a state of failure equilibrium ...
