Frictional melting mechanisms of rocks during earthquake fault slip
Introduction. Frictional melting is the extreme process resulting from shear heating caused by rapid slip in rock bodies. The rheology of rock melts in slip zones may control the mechanics of sliding—that is, lubricating or braking the slip—during dynamic events in nature, such as earthquakes 1, landslides 2, 3, caldera collapses 4 – 6, or meteorite impacts 7.
