Extensive-dilatancy anisotropy is the hypothesized distribution of stress-aligned fluid-filled
microcracks pervading most rocks in the Earth's crust. The geometry of the cracks and the …

Deep fluids are important for the evolution and properties of the lower continental and arc
crust in tectonically active settings. They comprise four components: H2O, nonpolar gases …

Abstract The San Andreas Fault (SAF) is weak in an absolute sense, in that it moves under
shear stresses far smaller than implied by the most obvious reading of laboratory friction …

Past studies of the climatic behavior of water on Mars have universally assumed that the
atmosphere is the sole pathway available for volatile exchange between the planet's crustal …

To gain insight into the rheology of selected feldspar-bearing rocks from the continental
lower crust (CLC), three granulites from exposed lower crustal terrains and a microgabbro …

Fluid pressure in the crust may be controlled by different mechanisms according to depth,
temperature, and the mineralogy of the host rocks. Where rocks are fluid‐saturated, fluid …

Various electrical phenomena have been reported prior to or concurrent with earthquakes
such as resistivity changes, ground potentials, electromagnetic (EM), and luminous signals …

Magnetotelluric and multichannel seismic reflection measurements indicate that the
Phanerozoic lower continental crust is commonly electrically conductive and reflective, in …

The influence of porosity reduction processes on the hydrologic characteristics of the earth's
crust is examined. We present a simple mathematical model that shows the effect of porosity …

Electrical resistivity changes, ground potentials, electromagnetic (EM), and luminous signals
preceding or accompanying earthquakes have been reported many times, in addition to …
