Abstract. It is widely observed that mafic rocks are able to accommodate high strains by viscous flow. Yet, a number of questions concerning the exact nature of the involved deformation mechanisms continue to be debated. In this contribution, rock deformation experiments on four different water-added plagioclase–pyroxene mixtures are presented: (i) plagioclase(An60–70)–clinopyroxene–orthopyroxene, (ii) plagioclase(An60)–diopside, (iii) plagioclase(An60)–enstatite, and (iv) plagioclase(An01)–enstatite. Samples were deformed in general shear at strain rates of 3×10−5 to 3×10−6 s−1, 800 °C, and confining pressure of 1.0 or 1.5 GPa. Results indicate that dissolution–precipitation creep (DPC) and grain boundary sliding (GBS) are the dominant deformation mechanisms and operate simultaneously. Coinciding with sample deformation, syn-kinematic mineral reactions yield abundant nucleation of new grains; the resulting intense grain size reduction is considered crucial for the activity of DPC and GBS. In high strain zones dominated by plagioclase, a weak, nonrandom, and geometrically consistent crystallographic preferred orientation (CPO) is observed. Usually, a CPO is considered a consequence of dislocation creep, but the experiments presented here demonstrate that a CPO can develop during DPC and GBS. This study provides new evidence for the importance of DPC and GBS in mid-crustal shear zones within mafic rocks, which has important implications for understanding and modeling mid-crustal rheology and flow.

Abstract. While it is widely observed that mafic rocks are able to exeprience high strains by viscous flow, details on their rheology and deformation mechanisms are poorly constrained. Here, rock deformation experiments on four different, water-added plagioclase-pyroxene mixtures are presented: (i) plagioclase(An60-70) – clinopyroxene – orthopyroxene, (ii) plagioclase(An60) – diopside, (iii) plagioclase(An60) – enstatite and (iv) plagioclase(An01) – enstatite. Samples were deformed in general shear at strain rates of 3 × 10−5 to 3 × 10−6 s−1, 800 °C and confining pressure of 1.0 or 1.5 GPa. Results indicate that dissolution-precipitation creep (DPC) and grain boundary sliding (GBS) are the dominant deformation mechanisms.

Abstract. This study sheds light on the deformation mechanisms of subducted mafic rocks metamorphosed at amphibolite and granulite facies conditions, and on their importance for strain accommodation and localization at the top of the slab during subduction infancy. These rocks, namely metamorphic soles, are oceanic slivers stripped from the downgoing slab and plastered below the upper plate mantle wedge during the first million years of intra-oceanic subduction, when the subduction interface is still warm. Their formation and intense deformation (i.e. shear strain ≥ 5) attest to a systematic and transient coupling between the plates over a restricted time span of ~1 My and specific rheological conditions. Combining micro-structural analyses with mineral chemistry constrains grain-scale deformation mechanisms and the rheology of amphibole and amphibolites along the plate interface during early subduction dynamics, as well as the interplay between brittle and ductile deformation, water activity, mineral change, grain size reduction and phase mixing. Results indicate, in particular, that increasing pressure-temperature conditions and slab dehydration (from amphibolite to granulite facies) lead to the crystallization of mechanically strong phases (garnet, clinopyroxene and high-grade amphibole) and rock hardening. In contrast, during early exhumation and cooling (from ~850 down to ~700 °C – 0.7 GPa), the garnet-clinopyroxene-bearing amphibolite experiences pervasive retrogression (and fluid ingression) and significant strain weakening essentially accommodated by dissolution-precipitation and grain boundary sliding processes. Observations also indicate cyclic brittle deformation near peak conditions and throughout the early exhumation, which contributed to fluid channelization within the amphibolites, and possibly strain localization accompanying detachment from the slab. These mechanical transitions, coeval with detachment and early exhumation of the HT metamorphic soles, controlled mechanical coupling across the plate interface during subduction infancy, between the top of the slab and the peridotites above. Our findings may thus apply to other geodynamic environments where similar temperatures, lithologies, fluid circulation and mechanical coupling between mafic rocks and peridotites prevail, such as in mature warm subduction zones (e.g., Nankai, Cascapedia), in lower continental crust shear zones and oceanic detachments.

Corner Flow

<p>In the Ulten Zone (Tonale nappe, Eastern Alps, N Italy), numerous peridotite bodies occur within high-grade crustal rocks. Peridotites show a transition from coarse protogranular spinel-lherzolites to fine-grained mylonitic garnet-amphibole peridotites (Obata and Morten, 1987). Pyroxenites veins and dikes, transposed along the peridotite foliation, show a similar evolution from coarse garnet-free websterites to fine-grained garnet + amphibole clinopyroxenites (Morten and Obata, 1983). This evolution has been interpreted to reflect cooling and pressure increase of pyroxenites and host peridotites from spinel- (1200 °C, 1.3-1.6 GPa) to garnet-facies conditions (850 °C and 2.8 GPa) within the mantle corner flow (Nimis and Morten, 2000).</p><p>The newly formed garnet occurs as exsolution within porphyroclastic, high-T pyroxenes, and crystallises along the pyroxenite and peridotite foliation.</p><p>Textural evidence and crystallographic orientation data indicate that the transition from spinel- to garnet-facies conditions was assisted by intense shearing and deformation. Pyroxene porphyroclasts in garnet clinopyroxenites show well-developed crystallographic preferred orientation (CPO), high frequency of low-angle misorientations, and non-random distribution of the low-angle misorientation axes. These features indicates that pyroxene porphyroclasts primarily deform by dislocation creep on the (100) [010] slip system. Dislocation creep is accompanied by subgrain rotation recrystallisation, which promotes the formation of new, smaller and equant pyroxene grains around porphyroclasts. The grain size reduction promotes a switch in the deformation mechanism from grain-size insensitive creep (i.e. dislocation creep) in the porphyroclasts to grain-size sensitive (GSS) creep in the small recrystallised grains. The switch from dislocation to GSS creep is accompanied not only by grain size reduction of pyroxenes, but also by the formation of garnet exsolutions in pyroxenes and garnet crystallisation along foliation. We suggest that garnet crystallisation triggers the pinning of the recrystallised matrix, stabilising the fine-grained microtexture for GSS creep process, and finally contributes to the rheological weakening of pyroxenites.</p><p>Pyroxenites and peridotites of Ulten Zone thus offer a unique opportunity to investigate the effects of mantle deformation and weakening on the processes that control the material exchange between crust and mantle at subduction zones.</p><p> </p><p>Morten, L., & Obata, M.

<p>In geodynamic numerical models, grain-size-independent dislocation creep often solely defines the governing crystal-plastic flow law in the upper mantle. However, grain-size-dependent diffusion creep may become the dominant deformation mechanism if grain size is sufficiently small. Previous studies implying composite diffusion-dislocation creep rheologies and fixed grain size suggest that the upper mantle is stratified with the dominant mechanism being dislocation creep at shallow depths and diffusion creep further down. Studies with variable grain size in the upper mantle depending on common grain-size evolution models demonstrate that the contrary might be the case, where diffusion creep is acting within the mantle lithosphere and dislocation creep in the asthenosphere below. Diffusion creep as a dominant mechanism has important implications for the overall strength of the lithosphere and therefore for the dynamic evolution of lithospheric-scale extension and orogeny.</p><p>To investigate the importance of grain size and the effects of resulting crystal-plastic creep within the upper mantle, we developed a two-dimensional thermo-mechanical numerical code based on the finite difference method with a fully staggered Eularian grid and freely advecting Lagrangian markers. The model implies a composite diffusion-dislocation creep rheology and a dynamic grain-size evolution model based on the paleowattmeter including recently published olivine grain growth laws.</p><p>Results of upper mantle extension indicate olivine grain sizes of ~7 cm for large parts of the upper mantle below the LAB, while in the lithosphere grain size ranges from ~1 mm at the Moho to ~5 cm at the LAB. This grain size distribution indicates that dislocation creep dominates deformation in the entire upper mantle. However, diffusion creep activates along lithospheric-scale shear zones during rifting where intense grain size reduction occurs to local stress increase. We furthermore test the implications of wet and dry olivine rheology and respective crystal growth laws and interpret their effects on large-scale tectonic processes. Our results help explain strain localization during extension by strength loss related to grain size reduction and consequent diffusion creep activation.</p>

Results indicate that increasing pressure and temperature conditions and slab dehydration (from amphibolite to granulite facies) lead to the nucleation of mechanically strong phases (garnet, clinopyroxene and amphibole) and rock hardening. Peak conditions (850 ∘C and 1 GPa) coincide with a pervasive stage of brittle deformation which enables strain localization in the top of the mafic slab, and therefore possibly the unit detachment from the slab. In contrast, during early exhumation and cooling (from ∼850 down to ∼700 ∘C and 0.7 GPa), the garnet–clinopyroxene-bearing amphibolite experiences extensive retrogression (and fluid ingression) and significant strain weakening essentially accommodated in the dissolution–precipitation creep regime including heterogeneous nucleation of fine-grained materials and the activation of grain boundary sliding processes. This deformation mechanism is closely assisted with continuous fluid-driven fracturing throughout the exhumed amphibolite, which contributes to fluid channelization within the amphibolites. These mechanical transitions, coeval with detachment and early exhumation of the high-temperature (HT) metamorphic soles, therefore controlled the viscosity contrast and mechanical coupling across the plate interface during subduction infancy, between the top of the slab and the overlying peridotites. Our findings may thus apply to other geodynamic environments where similar temperatures, lithologies, fluid circulation and mechanical coupling between mafic rocks and peridotites prevail, such as in mature warm subduction zones (e.g., Nankai, Cascadia), in lower continental crust shear zones and oceanic detachments.

Abstract. Deformation microstructures of albitic plagioclase and K-feldspar were investigated in mylonitic pegmatites from the Austroalpine basement south of the western Tauern Window by polarized light microscopy, electron microscopy and electron backscatter diffraction to evaluate the rheologically dominant feldspar deformation mechanisms at greenschist facies conditions. The main mylonitic characteristics are alternating almost monophase quartz and albite layers, surrounding porphyroclasts of deformed feldspar and tourmaline. The dominant deformation microstructures of K-feldspar porphyroclasts are intragranular fractures parallel to the main shortening direction indicated by the foliation. The fractures are healed or sealed by polyphase aggregates of albite, K-feldspar, quartz and mica, which also occur along intragranular fractures of tourmaline and strain shadows around other porphyroclasts. Polyphase aggregates at sites of dilation indicate dissolution-precipitation creep. K-feldspar porphyroclasts are partly replaced by albite characterized by a sawtooth-shaped interface. This replacement is interpreted to be by interface-coupled dissolution-precipitation driven by a solubility difference between K-feldspar and albite and is not controlled by strain. In contrast, albite porphyroclasts are replaced at sites of shortening by fine-grained monophase albite aggregates of small strain-free new grains mixed with deformed fragments. Dislocation glide is indicated by bent, kinked and twinned albite. No indication of effective dislocation climb with dynamic recovery, for example by the presence of subgrains, a crystallographic preferred orientation or sutured grain boundaries was observed. We interpret the grain size reduction of albite at sites of shortening to be the result of coupled fracturing, dislocation glide and strain-induced grain boundary migration. This strain-induced replacement by nucleation and growth leads, together with granular flow, to the monophase albite layers. The associated quartz layers in contrast, show characteristics of dislocation creep by the presence of subgrains, undulatory extinction and sutured grain boundaries. We identified two endmember matrix microstructures that correlate with strain. Samples with lower strain are characterized by layers of a few hundreds of µm width, with coarse-grained quartz and layers with isometric, fine-grained feldspar. Higher strained samples are characterized by narrow alternating layers of some tens of µm width composed of fine-grained quartz and coarse albite grains elongated parallel to the stretching lineation, respectively. These observations indicate that grain size reduction by strain-induced replacement of albite, granular flow assisted by fracturing and dissolution-precipitation together with dislocation creep of quartz are rheologically dominant.

<p>Exhumed subduction shear zones often exhibit block-in-matrix structures comprising strong clasts within a weak matrix (mélanges). Inspired by such observations, we create synthetic models with different proportions of strong clasts and compare them to natural mélange outcrops. We use 2D Finite Element visco-plastic numerical simulations in simple shear kinematic conditions and we determine the effective rheology of a mélange with basaltic blocks embedded within a wet quartzitic matrix. Our models and their structures are scale-independent; this allows for upscaling published field geometries to km-scale models, compatible with large-scale far-field observations. By varying confining pressure, temperature and strain rate we evaluate effective rheological estimates for a natural subduction interface. Deformation and strain localization are affected by the block-in-matrix ratio. In models where both materials deform viscously, the effective dislocation creep parameters (A, n, and Q) vary between the values of the strong and the weak phase. Approaching the frictional-viscous transition, the mélange bulk rheology is effectively viscous creep but in the small scale parts of the blocks are frictional, leading to higher stresses. This results in an effective value of the stress exponent, n, greater than that of both pure phases, as well as an effective viscosity lower than the weak phase. Our effective rheology parameters may be used in large scale geodynamic models, as a proxy for a heterogeneous subduction interface, if an appropriate evolution law for the block concentration of a mélange is given.</p>

Flow Law

Abstract. Viscous flow in ice is often described by the Glen flow law – a non-Newtonian, power-law relationship between stress and strain rate with a stress exponent n ∼ 3. The Glen law is attributed to grain-size-insensitive dislocation creep; however, laboratory and field studies demonstrate that deformation in ice can be strongly dependent on grain size. This has led to the hypothesis that at sufficiently low stresses, ice flow is controlled by grain boundary sliding, which explicitly incorporates the grain size dependence of ice rheology. Experimental studies find that neither dislocation creep (n ∼ 4) nor grain boundary sliding (n ∼ 1.8) have stress exponents that match the value of n ∼ 3 in the Glen law. Thus, although the Glen law provides an approximate description of ice flow in glaciers and ice sheets, its functional form is not explained by a single deformation mechanism. Here we seek to understand the origin of the n ∼ 3 dependence of the Glen law by using the “wattmeter” to model grain size evolution in ice. The wattmeter posits that grain size is controlled by a balance between the mechanical work required for grain growth and dynamic grain size reduction. Using the wattmeter, we calculate grain size evolution in two end-member cases: (1) a 1-D shear zone and (2) as a function of depth within an ice sheet. Calculated grain sizes match both laboratory data and ice core observations for the interior of ice sheets. Finally, we show that variations in grain size with deformation conditions result in an effective stress exponent intermediate between grain boundary sliding and dislocation creep, which is consistent with a value of n = 3 ± 0.5 over the range of strain rates found in most natural systems.

Rapid Deformation

<p>The initiation and propagation of fractures in floating regions of Antarctica has the potential to destabilize large regions of the ice sheet, leading to significant sea-level rise. While observations have shown rapid, localized deformation and damage in the margins of fast-flowing glaciers, there remain gaps in our understanding of how rapid deformation affects the creep and toughness of ice. Here we derive a model for dynamic recrystallization in ice and other rocks that includes a novel representation of migration recrystallization, which is absent from existing models but is likely to be dominant in warm areas undergoing rapid deformation within the ice sheet. We show that, in regions of elevated strain rate, grain sizes in ice may be larger than expected (~15 mm) due to migration recrystallization, a significant deviation from solid earth studies which find fine-grained rock in shear zones. This may imply that ice in shear margins deforms primarily by dislocation creep, suggesting a flow-law exponent of n=4 in these regions. Further, we find from existing models that this increase in grain size results in a decrease in tensile strength of ice by ~75% in the margins of glaciers. Thus, we expect that this increase in grain size makes the margins of fast-flowing glaciers less viscous and more vulnerable to fracture than we may suppose from standard model parameters.</p>

In contrast to the elastic deformation, which is reversible, usually neglected by field geologists but important for geophysicists working in seismology, ductile deformation is irreversible. This chapter is restricted to solid materials. Materials containing a melt fraction will be examined in Chapter 7. In the geological literature, ‘ductile’ is often used as a synonym for ‘plastic’. The latter is rather used, and will be used to specify deformation mechanisms that dominantly involve the action of dislocations. In contrast to brittle deformation, which by essence is discontinuous and highly localized (see Chapter 3), ductile deformation is generally continuous and affects large volumes of rock. However, ductile deformation may be concentrated into restricted rock volumes (or domains). Such localization is common in shear zones and/or when superplastic deformation mechanism is involved. Plastic deformation mechanisms naturally depend on temperature, magnitude of the applied stress, mineral nature and grain-size of the rocks. In upper parts of the crust, fluids are able to carry chemical elements over large distances and influence the deformation mechanisms. Micrographs of several microstructural types as well as deformation maps for olivine and calcite are given at the end of this chapter.
