Ripplocations provide a new mechanism for the deformation of phyllosilicates in the lithosphere

Deformation in Earth’s lithosphere is localised in narrow, high-strain zones. Phyllosilicates, strongly anisotropic layered minerals, are abundant in these rocks, where they accommodate much of the strain and play a significant role in inhibiting or triggering earthquakes. Until now it was understoo...
