Geophysics: Hot blanket in Earth's deep crust Nature.com (subscription), UK The deformation of the crust in response to tectonic forces is commonly accompanied by strain localization : that is, by the formation of narrow, ductile shear zones. During deformation at high stress levels, mechanical energy is transformed into heat ... |
