BRGM GFZ
Plate tectonics, how does it function?
Kind of Mickey Mouse plate tectonics
The picture is mainly a result of
observations along spreading ridges
There is little images from the deep
mantle and little mechanics
Problems arise when one looks at the
“strange” movements experienced by
many plates and by the small oceans.
Is there a convection everywhere?
Particularly important is the
dynamics of convection

Plate tectonics
The crust of the Earth is broken-up in several ‘tectonic’ plates.
![Page 13: Rupture mechanics and modelling...M=7, 70x10 km fault, 1m displacement M=6, 30x5 km fault, 0.4m displacement M=5, 15x5 km fault, 0.15m displacement Big earth quakes Located at Mapped](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022071215/6046741972ddc83ce2635dab/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Kinematics of plate tectonics
Plates should not regarded static features. Heat from Earth’s core
generates huge convection cells in the viscous mantle of the Earth. Plate
motion is driven by friction at their base. The high weight of the plates
also promotes plate motion during plate subduction.

Plate tectonic forces
Plate interaction generates
enormous forces (1012-

This will result in several
deformation processes at
tectonic plate boundaries:
- Earthquakes (red dots)
- Volcanism
- Orogenesis

PGA hazard map
Seismic Hazard Map of Europe as part of the Global Seismic Hazard Map (Giardini et al., 2003; Grünthal et al., 1999). The map
depicts the seismic hazard as Peak Ground Acceleration (PGA, ms-2) with 10% probability of exceedence (or a 90% chance of
non-exceedance) in 50 years, corresponding to a return period of 475 years (source GFZ, oliver Heidbach)

Failure:
Fluid pressure (Pf) increase
results in a reduction of the
effective normal stress (Sn) on the
fracture wall and causes the
fracture to fail when Ss/Sn>ms
Rupture:
rate (md) and state/dynamic (ms)
friction causes the shear stress
(Ss) to drop (Ds=stress drop)
