Geophysical evidence of high fluid pressures and the presence fluidized microstructures provide two independent arguments supporting existence fluid-like materials within core slipping fault zones crust. The nature these varies depending on specific case, including H2O-rich fluid, ultra-comminuted rock, melt formed after frictional slip. persistence such over several episodes slip is questionable, because may decrease associated host-rock damage, while melts solidify almost...
Diapiric intrusions induce significant thermal and mechanical changes in the surrounding host rock, including heating deformation. While previous studies have focused on intrusion formation, few models detail field evolution during progressive pluton boundary migration, even less, with associated host-rock This study aims to simulate Flamanville granitic diapir's growth cooling processes investigate coupling between deformation aureole contact metamorphism. The intrusion, located Normandy,...
Experimental and field-based research has shown that the presence of mica minerals drastically reduces mechanical resistance rocks during both brittle viscous deformation, which allows localization deformation into narrow regions such as shear zones. Furthermore, experimental work proved phlogopite-quartz assemblages with a abundance 30% is weak sample composed entirely mica. This phenomenon occurs combination several processes, including developing interconnected networks domains grain size...
Exhuming shear zones are key structures in the dynamic evolution of orogens. Such accommodate most shear-related exhumation within relatively small rock-volumes. This is possible due to major strain partitioning occurring along weak rocks, frequently represented by phyllosilicate-rich rocks. Thus, study mylonites can provide fundamental insights into mechanisms responsible for architecture orogens.The Hulw Shear Zone Saih Hatat Window Oman (Agard et al., 2010) one these exhuming juxtaposing...
[1] Active eclogitization has recently been inferred at depth beneath the Himalaya from geophysical observations, and mechanical consequences of can be observed in field eroded extended nappe stack Scandinavian Caledonides. There, Proterozoic metastable granulites igneous protoliths underwent partial during collision Baltica with Laurentia. The reaction began pseudotachylites veins eventually formed a connected network eclogite-facies shear zones that localized deformation weakened lower...
In this study, we used porosity to assess the compaction state of Nankai accretionary wedge sediments and any implications for stress pore pressure. However, hydrous minerals affect measurements, accounting them is essential toward defining interstitial truly representative state. The water content was measured in core samples estimated from logging data using a resistivity model shale. We cation exchange capacity correct amount bound clay estimates surface conductivity minerals. results...
The Shimanto Belt in SW Japan is commonly described as a paleo-accretionary prism, whose structure explained by continuous accretion like modern accretionary prisms such Nankai. We carried out structural study of the Cretaceous to Miocene part on Kyushu test this hypothesis accretion. Most deformation structures observed field are top-to-the-SE thrusts, fitting well scheme wedge growth frontal or underplating. In particular, tectonic mélange at top Hyuga Group records penetrative reflecting...
The very low water content of the granulitic unit Holsnøy, in Bergen Arcs, Norway, caused its partial metastable preservation throughout Caledonian burial end exhumation, leading to observed mixture completely eclogitized and uneclogitized rocks. eclogitization granulite-facies protolith led a density increase ∼10%, but also large rheological weakening that resulted localization all deep ductile deformation eclogite fraction. We address consequences on subduction dynamics concomitant...

The consists stack tectonic mélanges coherent units. Mélanges are characterized by simple shear deformation with pervasive network top‐to‐the‐trench zones, whereas units affected principally horizontal shortening, except for spatially limited outcrops Central Belt.

Fossil structures, such as exhumed accretionary prisms, are the only direct recorders of fluids wetting plate interface near base seismogenic zone. By studying it is thus possible to determine physicochemical properties and geometry dynamics their circulation. We considered here two transects encompassing brittle-plastic transition (BPT) zone, in Franco-Italian Alps Shimanto Belt Japan, compared our data with a broader set examples from literature. On quartz that grew synkinematically at...
Abstract In several examples of subduction zones, we compared pairs quartz veins formed either at the lower temperatures seismogenic zone (260°C or below), higher its downdip limit (∼330°C). All analyzed here are mode I cracks that contemporaneously with host‐rock main stage deformation peak burial conditions. Lower‐temperature show crystals euhedral shapes and growth rims, while higher‐temperature contain crack‐seal microstructures. lower‐temperature realm, rims have alternatingly either:...
