Comparison of brittle- and viscous creep in quartzites: Implications for semi-brittle flow of rocks

The co-existence and interaction between brittle and viscous deformation processes contributes to the integrated strength of the crust and results in a wide range of energy-release mechanisms ranging from earthquakes to creep. Here, we compare flow laws derived for quartz-rich rocks deforming by bri...
