Seismic evidence for thermal runaway during intermediate-depth earthquake rupture

Seismic evidence for thermal runaway during intermediate-depth earthquake rupture

Intermediate-depth earthquakes occur at depths where temperatures and pressures exceed those at which brittle failure is expected. There are two leading candidates for the physical mechanism behind these earthquakes: dehydration embrittlement and self-localizing thermal shear runaway. A complete ene...
