Rocks Melt During Earthquakes: New Study Confirms
This video delves deep into the fascinating world of geology and seismic activity, exploring a groundbreaking study on rock melting during earthquakes.
Discover how certain rock types, like granodiorite, gabbro, anorthosite, and peridotite, react under simulated seismic events’ intense pressures and temperatures.
Learn about the unexpected melting points of these rocks and the intricate methods researchers used to uncover these findings. From high-velocity rotary shear tests to advanced microstructural observations, join us on this journey to understand the mysteries beneath our feet.

I guess it’s no secret that rock under intense friction and pressure, while subject to vibration, could melt. After all it is vibration that warms the contents of a microwave oven. What’s the big deal?
