Frictional Melting in Hydrothermal Fluid‐Rich Faults: Field and Experimental Evidence From the Bolfín Fault Zone (Chile)

Frictional Melting in Hydrothermal Fluid‐Rich Faults: Field and Experimental Evidence From the Bolfín Fault Zone (Chile)

Abstract Tectonic pseudotachylytes are thought to be unique to certain water‐deficient seismogenic environments and their presence is considered to be rare in the geological record. Here, we present field and experimental evidence that frictional melting can occur in hydrothermal fluid‐rich faults h...
