Tectonic overpressure in weak crustal-scale shear zones and implications for the exhumation of high-pressure rocks
Abstract
A two‐dimensional numerical simulation of lithospheric shortening shows the formation of a stable crustal‐scale shear zone due to viscous heating. The shear zone thickness is controlled by thermomechanical coupling that is resolved numerically inside the shear zone. Away from the shear zone, lithospheric deformation is dominated by pure shear, and tectonic overpressure (i.e., pressure larger than the lithostatic pressure) is proportional to the deviatoric stress. Inside the shear zone, deformation is dominated by simple shear, and the deviatoric stress decreases due to thermal weakening of the viscosity. To maintain a constant horizontal total stress across the weak shear zone (i.e., horizontal force balance), the pressure in the shear zone increases to compensate the decrease of the deviatoric stress. Tectonic overpressure in the weak shear zone can be significantly larger than the deviatoric stress at the same location. Implications for the geodynamic history of tectonic nappes including high‐pressure/ultrahigh‐pressure rocks are discussed.

“First, several geodynamical studies performed in recent years have shown that pressure within the Earth's crust and upper mantle may deviate significantly from purely lithostatic values; an effect known as tectonic overpressure (e.g.Petrini and Podladchikov, 2000;Li et al., 2010;Schmalholz and Podladchikov, 2013;Gerya, 2015).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
