Currently deforming regions of continental crust are characterized by seismic activity in a brittle carapace which presumably overlies regions undergoing local or distributed metamorphism. One may note in this regard the global correlation between active seismic belts and the distribution of CO2-rich springs (Barnes et al., 1984). In regions of moderate to high heat flow (60 100 mW m-2) the seismogenic regime, representing the zone of unstable frictional sliding, typically extends to depths of 10 15 km, marking the onset of greenschist metamorphic conditions (Sibson, 1983). However, in regions of rapid thrust convergence (> 1cm yr-1), seismic activity may extend to significantly greater depths through depression of isotherms, as in the thrust-front of the Himalaya.
