The asthenosphere low-velocity layer
Annals of Geophysics, 1959 Bisultati basati su osservazioni di vari fenomeni provano praticamentel'esistenza di un canale astenosferico a flessione di velocità, diffuso in tuttala terra.

The Nature of the Lithosphere‐Asthenosphere Boundary [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2020 AbstractPlate tectonic theory was developed 50 years ago and underpins most of our understanding of Earth's evolution. The theory explains observations of magnetic lineations on the seafloor, linear volcanic island chains, large transform fault systems, and deep earthquakes near deep sea trenches.

Seismic anisotropy across Adria plate, from the Apennines to the Dinarides
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022 The Adria microplate has the particular feature to be involved in two subduction systems with slab dipping in opposite directions, one toward west beneath the Apennines and the other to the east beneath the Dinarides.

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2020 The oceanic lithosphere is a primary component of the plate tectonic system, yet its evolution and its asthenospheric interaction have rarely been quantified by in situ imaging at slow spreading systems.

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2021 The style of convective force transmission to plates and strain‐localization within and underneath plate boundaries remain debated. To address some of the related issues, we analyze a range of deformation indicators in southern California from the ...

Sub‐Lithospheric Small‐Scale Convection Tomographically Imaged Beneath the Pacific Plate
Geophysical Research Letters, 2022 Small‐scale convection beneath the oceanic plates has been invoked to explain off‐axis nonplume volcanism, departure from simple seafloor depth‐age relationships, and intraplate gravity lineations.

Rifts, orogens, cratons, and global tectonics: Introduction
Геодинамика и тектонофизика, 2017 A key role in developing the Earth theory is played by comparative studies of orogens, rifts, and platforms in the equatorial, middle and high latitudes of Asia and the adjacent Arctic regions.
