Intermediate-depth earthquake faulting by dehydration embrittlement with negative volume change
Article Abstract:
The effects of dehydration of antigorite serpentinite under stress, are discussed. The results of the study indicate that when under stress, ultrafine-grained solid reaction develops certain faults confirming that dehydration embrittlement is a viable mechanism for nucleating earthquakes independent of depth.

Faulting induced by precipitation of water at grain boundaries in hot subducting oceanic crust
Article Abstract:
The pressures and temperatures along with various chemicals affect the faulting instability associated with precipitation of water at grain boundaries. This new faulting mechanism satisfactorily explains the earthquakes in subducting oceanic crust.

Seismic reflection imaging of two megathrust shear zones in the northern Cascadia subduction zone
Article Abstract:
Megathrust accommodates the relative motion between the subducting oceanic plate and the overriding continent. Deep seiemic reflection data from the northern Cascadia subduction zone showing the inter-plate boundary is presented.
