Chemical and isotopic variations in crushed material along the Chelungpu fault in Taiwan are suggestive of interactions at high temperatures with coseismically generated aqueous fluids. High fluid pressures along the fault zone during the magnitude 7.6 Chi-Chi earthquake in 1999 could have reduced friction and fault strength.
