The electrical conductivity of eclogite increases with increasing temperature （which can be approximated by the Arrhenius equation）, and is weakly affected by pressure. At each tested pressure, the electrical conductivity is weakly temperature dependent below -650 K and more strongly temperature de- pendent above -650 K. The calculated activation energies and volumes are 44±1 kJ/mol and -0.6±0.1 cm3/mol for low tem- peratures and 97±3 kJ/mol and -1.2±0.2 cm3/mol for high temperatures, respectively. When applied to the depth range of 45-100 km in Tibet, the laboratory data give conductivities on the order of 10^-15 -10^-4.5 S/m, within the range of geophysical conductivity profiles.展开更多
