A switch from horizontal compression to vertical extension in the Vrancea slab explained by the volume reduction of serpentine dehydration - Craiu A, Ferrand TP, Manea EF, Vrijmoed JC, M ărmureanu A.

The Vrancea slab, Romania, is a subducted remnant of the Tethyan lithosphere characterized by a significant intermediate-depth seismicity (60-170  km). A recent study showed a correlation between this seismicity and major dehydration reactions, involving s...
