A switch from horizontal compression to vertical extension in the Vrancea slab explained by the volume reduction of serpentine dehydration
Abstract The Vrancea slab, Romania, is a subducted remnant of the Tethyan lithosphere characterized by a significant intermediate-depth seismicity (60–170 km). A recent study showed a correlation between this seismicity and major dehydration reactions, involving serpentine minerals up to 130 km dept...
