The largest gold nuggets are often found in places where fluids flow through faults in rock during earthquakes. This creates veins of quartz that can contain gold. It takes hundreds or thousands ...

To study how earthquakes help form the gold nuggets, scientists conducted lab experiments with quartz slabs that were submerged ... some of an area’s quartz veins? “I think it is a great ...

Gold-bearing quartz veins are found in parts of the crust that ... Voisey and his team placed slabs of pure natural quartz in sealed chambers containing gold-bearing liquid solutions.

The researchers found that earthquakes fracture rocks and force hydrothermal fluids up into the quartz veins, filling them with dissolved gold. In response to the stress of the earthquake ...

No gold deposited on slabs that weren’t struck. When the experiment was repeated with a chunk of a gold-quartz vein, gold deposition became concentrated on the already existing gold, Voisey says.

They also prepared six other slabs the same way but didn’t strain ... answer to the question about the origins of orogenic quartz-vein gold nuggets: a seismic wave released during an earthquake ...
