Subduction zone rheology
Rheological flow laws can be obtained from studies using multi-anvil high-pressure systems with synchrotron-based piezometers and strain metrics. The high flux X-ray source provides minute-scale time resolution with accurate measurement of diffraction patterns and direct sample images. Measurements of length changes with an accuracy of one part in 104 are being developed and will provide a new ...
متن کاملSimple analytic model for subduction zone thermal structure
A new analytic model is presented for the thermal structure of subduction zones. It applies to the deeper regions of a subduction zone, where the overriding mantle is no longer rigid but flows parallel to the slab surface. The model captures the development of one thermal boundary layer out into the mantle wedge, and another into the subducting slab. By combining this model with the analytic mo...
متن کاملPhysical Model of Source Region of Subduction Zone Volcanics
The thermal structure of a generic subduction zone is investigated to elucidate the source region of subduction zone volcanics. The steady state thermal field is evaluated for a model subduction zone where the plates are prescribed by kinematic boundary conditions, such that the subducting slab induces a flow in the mantle wedge. The resulting model suggests that the oceanic crust of the downgo...
متن کاملRupture Process of Subduction-Zone Earthquakes
This review is primarily concerned with the rupture process of large subduction-zone earthquakes determined by various seismological methods, and with its interpretation in terms of an asperity model. It is not possible to make a thorough and extensive review on the subject because of the limited length. Consequently, this review is inevitably biased toward the works in which I was directly inv...
متن کاملGeochemistry of continental subduction-zone fluids
The composition of continental subduction-zone fluids varies dramatically from dilute aqueous solutions at subsolidus conditions to hydrous silicate melts at supersolidus conditions, with variable concentrations of fluid-mobile incompatible trace elements. At ultrahigh-pressure (UHP) metamorphic conditions, supercritical fluids may occur with variable compositions. The water component of these ...
