Frictional properties of olivine at high temperature with applications to the strength and dynamics of the oceanic lithosphere
[1] Faulting and brittle deformation of mantle rocks occurs in many tectonic settings such as oceanic transform faults, oceanic detachment faults, subduction zones, and continental rifts. However, few data exist that directly explore the frictional properties of peridotite rocks. Improved constraints on the brittle deformation of peridotite is important for a more complete understanding of the ...
متن کاملسنگنگاری، ژئوشیمی و سنگشناسی مجموعه افیولیتی جنوب صحنه )شمال شرق کرمانشاه(
Ophiolitic complex of Sahneh could be considered as part of ophiolite sequences in the Zagros Suture Zone.This complex is a part of 3000 km belt, which is started from Syria after crossing south Turkey and Zagros leading to Oman. The studied ophiolitic complex is curvature in shape which is situated in south of Sahneh. No complete ophiolite sequence were seen in this complex. In general, t...
متن کاملDynamics of intraoceanic subduction initiation: 1. Oceanic detachment fault inversion and the formation of suprasubduction zone ophiolites
Subduction initiation is a critical link in the plate tectonic cycle. Intraoceanic subduction zones can form along transform faults and fracture zones, but how subduction nucleates parallel to mid-ocean ridges, as in e.g., the Neotethys Ocean during the Jurassic, remains a matter of debate. In recent years, extensional detachment faults have been widely documented adjacent to slow-spreading and...
متن کاملMagnetic properties of variably serpentinized peridotites and their implication for the evolution of oceanic core complexes
Serpentinization of ultramafic rocks during hydrothermal alteration at mid-ocean ridges profoundly changes the physical, chemical, rheological, and magnetic properties of the oceanic lithosphere. There is renewed interest in this process following the discovery of widespread exposures of serpentinized mantle on the seafloor in slow spreading oceans. Unroofing of mantle rocks in these settings i...
متن کاملTertiary metamorphic core complexes in Sonora, northwestern Mexico
Several ranges encompassing more than 35,000 km 2 of Sonora, Mexico, contain distinctly lineated and foliated granitic and metamorphic rocks that constitute the lower plates of metamorphic core complexes. Penetrative deformation is characterized by gently dipping mylonitic foliation across which northeast trending stretching lineation is everywhere developed. Prominent northwest trending fractu...
