Laboratory earthquakes triggered during eclogitization of lawsonite-bearing blueschist

Journal Article Incel, Sarah ; Hilairet, Nadège ; Labrousse, Loïc ; ... - Earth and Planetary Science Letters

The origin of intermediate-depth seismicity has been debated for decades. A substantial fraction of these events occurs within the upper plane of Wadati–Benioff double seismic zones believed to represent subducting oceanic crust. We deformed natural lawsonite-rich blueschist samples under eclogite-facies conditions (1.5<3.5 GPa; 583 K<1121 K), using a D-DIA apparatus installed at a synchrotron beamline continuously monitoring stress, strain, phase changes, and acoustic emissions (AEs). Two distinct paths were investigated: i) heating during deformation at pressures >2.5 GPa to maximum temperatures ranging from 762 to 1073 K, during which lawsonite and glaucophane became gradually unstable while entering the stability fieldmore »« less

Lower-crustal earthquakes in southern Tibet are linked to eclogitization of dry metastable granulite

Journal Article Shi, Feng ; Wang, Yanbin ; Yu, Tony ; ... - Nature Communications

Southern Tibet is the most active orogenic region on Earth where the Indian Plate thrusts under Eurasia, pushing the seismic discontinuity between the crust and the mantle to an unusual depth of ~80 km. Numerous earthquakes occur in the lower portion of this thickened continental crust, but the triggering mechanisms remain enigmatic. Here we show that dry granulite rocks, the dominant constituent of the subducted Indian crust, become brittle when deformed under conditions corresponding to the eclogite stability field. Microfractures propagate dynamically, producing acoustic emission, a laboratory analog of earthquakes, leading to macroscopic faults. Failed specimens are characterized by weakmore »« less

Dehydration-driven stress transfer triggers intermediate-depth earthquakes

Journal Article Ferrand, Thomas P. ; Hilairet, Nadège ; Incel, Sarah ; ... - Nature Communications

Intermediate-depth earthquakes (30–300 km) have been extensively documented within subducting oceanic slabs, but their mechanics remains enigmatic. Here in this paper we decipher the mechanism of these earthquakes by performing deformation experiments on dehydrating serpentinized peridotites (synthetic antigorite-olivine aggregates, minerals representative of subduction zones lithologies) at upper mantle conditions. At a pressure of 1.1 gigapascals, dehydration of deforming samples containing only 5 vol% of antigorite suffices to trigger acoustic emissions, a laboratory-scale analogue of earthquakes. At 3.5 gigapascals, acoustic emissions are recorded from samples with up to 50 vol% of antigorite. Experimentally produced faults, observed post-mortem, are sealed by fluid-bearingmore »« less

High-Pressure Single-Crystal Elasticity and Thermal Equation of State of Omphacite and Their Implications for the Seismic Properties of Eclogite in the Earth's Interior

Journal Article Hao, Ming ; Zhang, Jin S. ; Pierotti, Caroline E. ; ... - Journal of Geophysical Research. Solid Earth

Omphacite is a major mineral phase of eclogite, which provides the main driving force for the slab subduction into the Earth's interior. We have measured the single-crystal elastic moduli of omphacite at high pressures for the first time up to 18 GPa at ambient temperature using Brillouin spectroscopy. A least squares fit of the velocity-pressure data to the third-order finite strain equation of state yields K_S0' = 4.5 (3), G₀' = 1.6 (1) with ρ₀ = 3.34 (1) g/cm³, K_S0 = 123 (3) GPa, and G₀ = 74 (2) GPa. In addition, the synchrotron single-crystal X-ray diffraction data have beenmore »« less

A laboratory nanoseismological study on deep-focus earthquake micromechanics

Journal Article Wang, Yanbin ; Zhu, Lupei ; Shi, Feng ; ... - Science Advances

Global earthquake occurring rate displays an exponential decay down to ~300 km and then peaks around 550 to 600 km before terminating abruptly near 700 km. How fractures initiate, nucleate, and propagate at these depths remains one of the greatest puzzles in earth science, as increasing pressure inhibits fracture propagation. We report nanoseismological analysis on high-resolution acoustic emission (AE) records obtained during ruptures triggered by partial transformation from olivine to spinel in Mg₂GeO₄, an analog to the dominant mineral (Mg,Fe)₂SiO₄ olivine in the upper mantle, using state-of-the-art seismological techniques, in the laboratory. AEs’ focal mechanisms, as well as their distributionmore »« less
