Deformation Processes, Textural Evolution and Weakening in Retrograde Serpentinites

Deformation Processes, Textural Evolution and Weakening in Retrograde Serpentinites

Serpentinites play a key role in controlling fault rheology in a wide range of geodynamic settings, from oceanic and continental rift zones to subduction zones. In this paper, we provide a summary of the most common deformation mechanisms and frictional strengths of serpentine minerals and serpentin...
