Carbonates and intermediate-depth seismicity: Stable and unstable shear in altered subducting plates and overlying mantle

A model for intermediate-depth earthquakes of subduction zones is evaluated based on shear localization, shear heating, and runaway creep within thin carbonate layers in an altered downgoing oceanic plate and the overlying mantle wedge. Thermal shear instabilities in carbonate lenses add to potentia...
