cyclic process in which faults sealed by mineral deposits let fluid pressure build until rupture, then drain fluids suddenly, linking earthquake recurrence to fluid flow.

In geophysics, fault-valve behavior refers to cyclic process in which faults sealed by mineral deposits let fluid pressure build until rupture, then drain fluids suddenly, linking earthquake recurrence to fluid flow. This meaning comes from Sibson (1992) in Tectonophysics.[1]
