Figure 3

Average differential stress in olivine as a function of strain, calculated from synchrotron X-ray diffraction patterns, for experiments at 1.1±0.2 GPa (a) and 3.5±0.1 GPa (b) along with temperature evolution. Associated cumulative acoustic emissions are shown in c,d. Temperature limits for onsets of reactions (4) (23) and (5) (ref. 47) respectively relate to antigorite destabilization.
