Shear Zone Development in Serpentinized Mantle: Implications for the Strength of Oceanic Transform Faults

Oceanic transform faults display fewer and smaller‐magnitude earthquakes than expected for their length. Several mechanisms have been inferred to explain this seismic slip deficit, including increased fault zone damage resulting in elevated fluid flow, and the alteration of olivine to serpentine. Ho...
