Tectonic significance of serpentinites
At plate boundaries, where deformation is localized along centimetre-to kilometre-scale
shear zones, the influence of serpentinite on tectonic processes is linked to its unique …

Serpentine in active subduction zones
B Reynard - Lithos, 2013 - Elsevier
Serpentinization is a key phenomenon for understanding the geodynamics of subduction
zones in the 10–200 km depth range. Serpentines are a major water carrier, and their …

The serpentinite multisystem revisited: chrysotile is metastable
BW Evans - International Geology Review, 2004 - Taylor & Francis
The two rock-forming polymorphs of serpentine Mg3Si2O5 (OH) 4, lizardite and chrysotile,
occur in nature in virtually identical ranges of temperature and pressure, from surficial or …

Pressure–temperature estimates of the lizardite/antigorite transition in high pressure serpentinites
Serpentine minerals in natural samples are dominated by lizardite and antigorite. In spite of
numerous laboratory experiments, the stability fields of these species remain poorly …

High-pressure creep of serpentine, interseismic deformation, and initiation of subduction
The supposed low viscosity of serpentine may strongly influence subduction-zone dynamics
at all time scales, but until now its role could not be quantified because measurements …
