Relationships Between Upper-Plate Structure, Mantle Wedge Melting, and Fore-Arc Sliver Transport in the Nicaraguan Subduction Zone

open access: yesThe Seismic Record
This study images the base of the upper-plate lithosphere in the Nicaraguan subduction zone using common conversion point stacking of Sp phases and explores the relationships between deep upper-plate structure, subduction zone melting processes, and the ...

The birth of a volcano: A nonlinear convective model for rock melting at the asthenosphere—Lithosphere boundary

open access: yesApplications in Engineering Science
The investigation of the physical processes determining the melting of the lithospheric rocks is of crucial importance for understanding the volcanic dynamics and its related consequences.

Roots of the Hawaiian Hotspot [PDF]

open access: yes
In this lesson students will investigate the seismology and geological origins of the Hawaiian Islands to discover how scientists can obtain information on geological processes deep within the Earth. As a result of this activity, students will be able to

Strain accumulation and surface deformation along the San Andreas, California [PDF]

open access: yes
Stressing and rupture of a locked zone adjacent to a creeping fault segment was studied with special reference to strength heterogeneity depthwise and along-strike.

Postseismic rebound due to creep of the lower lithosphere and asthenosphere [PDF]

open access: yes
Postseismic surface deformations are attributed to the inelastic flow of the subcrustal regions of the Earth following an earthquake. A multilayer representation of the Earth's rheological properties is used in conjunction with a finite element ...

The Biggest Plates on Earth: Plate Tectonics [PDF]

open access: yes
In this lesson, students investigate the movement of Earth's tectonic plates, the results of these movements, and how magnetic anomalies present at spreading centers document the motion of the crust. As a result of this activity, students will be able to
