Abstract: Abstract Fluid-rock interaction on oceanic transform faults (OTFs) is important for both the deformation behavior of the lithosphere and volatile cycling in the Earth. Rocks deformed and exhumed at OTFs preserve information about the depth… read more here.

Abstract: The theory of plate tectonics describes how continents are separated from each other by lateral movement that is accommodated by transform faults connecting mid-ocean ridge sections, which leaves inactive fracture zones on the ocean floor.… read more here.
