  13. GWD-10-Q4 -Q6 San Andreas Fault断层成因探析

  Prior to 1965 geologists assumed

  that the two giant rock plates meeting at

  the San Andreas Fault generate heat

  Line through friction as they grind past each

  (5) other, but in 1965 Henyey found that

  temperatures in drill holes near the

  fault were not as elevated as had

  been expected. Some geologists

  wondered whether the absence of

  (10) friction-generated heat could be

  explained by the kinds of rock composing

  the fault. Geologists’ pre-1965

  assumptions concerning heat generated

  in the fault were based on

  (15) calculations about common varieties of

  rocks, such as limestone and granite;

  but “weaker” materials, such as clays,

  had already been identified in samples

  retrieved from the fault zone. Under

  (20) normal conditions, rocks composed of

  clay produce far less friction than do

  other rock types.老新观点

  In 1992 Byerlee tested whether

  these materials would produce friction

  (25) 10 to 15 kilometers below the Earth’s

  surface. Byerlee found that when clay

  samples were subjected to the thousands

  of atmospheres of pressure

  they would encounter deep inside the

  (30) Earth, they produced as much friction

  as was produced by other rock types.

  The harder rocks push against each

  other, the hotter they become; in other

  words, pressure itself, not only the

  (35) rocks’ properties, affects frictional

  heating. Geologists therore wondered

  whether the friction between the

  plates was being reduced by pockets

  of pressurized water within the fault that

  push the plates away from each other.新发现
