Subsequently, a number of researchers have studied this important phenomenon in several different minerals. Publications examining the influence of water or protons on the creep behavior of nominally anhydrous silicate minerals are listed in Table 11. Initial studies treated the water-weakening phenomenon as an on-off process; that is, minerals and rocks are weak under hydrous...
