Olivine friction at the base of oceanic seismogenic zones

Olivine friction at the base of oceanic seismogenic zones

We investigate the strength and frictional behavior of olivine aggregates at temperatures and effective confining pressures similar to those at the base of the seismogenic zone on a typical ridge transform fault. Triaxial compression tests were conducted on dry olivine powder (grain size
