Rheological Contrast between Quartz and Coesite Generates Strain Localization in Deeply Subducted Continental Crust

Rheological Contrast between Quartz and Coesite Generates Strain Localization in Deeply Subducted Continental Crust

Deformation microstructures of peak metamorphic conditions in ultrahigh-pressure (UHP) metamorphic rocks constrain the rheological behavior of deeply subducted crustal material within a subduction channel. However, studies of such rocks are limited by the overprinting effects of retrograde metamorph...
