Severe Strain‐Induced Olivine‐Ringwoodite Transformation at Room Temperature: Key to Enigmas of Deep‐Focus Earthquake
Feng Lin + Valery I Levitas + Achyut Dhar ...
Deep‐focus earthquakes at 350–660 km are presumably caused by olivine‐spinel phase transformation (PT). This cannot, however, explain the observed high...
