Probable sealing time of extensional quartz veins along the Nobeoka Thrust as a function of length and width of a crack.
The sealing time of a crack depends on various factors, including porosity and permeability in the host rock, and fluid composition.
In the models of ablation behaviors, the sealing time of pores and gaps on the ablated surfaces has been defined to indirectly estimate the ablation property.
The sealing time of a crack by diffusive transport of silica is slower than the time estimated for our model under higher ΔP (Fig. 4a), but faster than our model under lower ΔP (<8 MPa).
At ΔP = 25 MPa, the sealing time of the cluster (2.1 × 100 years) is ~102 times faster than that of the single crack (2.1 × 102 years) because of the larger surface area for quartz precipitation (Supplementary Eq. 1).
This relationship shifts in parallel with any change in crack size except under certain conditions; e.g., when the sealing time of a crack of one-tenth the geometric mean length (i.e., l v = 7.4 × 10 1 cm) becomes similar to that of a mean-length crack with increasing ΔP (Fig. 4a).

Here we propose a novel kinetic model of quartz vein formation that allows us to estimate the sealing times of isolated cracks based on pore-fluid pressure drop within the crack, advective flow of silica-rich fluids from the peripheral host rock, and quartz crystal growth in the seismic zone.
Temperature, sealing time, pH is optimized in terms of chemical/mechanical properties, measured by Vickers hardness test, Tafel analysis, and sealing quality test based on ASTM-B680.
We calculated the sealing time for a model of vein growth via diffusive silica transport in pore fluids at ΔP = 0.1 160 MPa, following ref.37 (Fig. 4a) (Supplementary Method).
(a) Sealing times of extensional quartz veins calculated using our model (black lines, A D) and a diffusion model (grey line)37.
At ΔP = 25 MPa, doubling the crack aperture or crack length increases the sealing time by a factor of two or four, respectively.
