Positive and negative feedback in the earthquake cycIe: the role of pore fluids on states of criticality in the crust
Fluids exert a strong physical and chemical control on local processes of rock fracture and friction. For example they may accelerate fracture by stress corrosion reactions or the development of overpressure (a form of positive feedback), or retard fracture by time-dependent stress relaxation or dil...
