On the origin of the asthenosphere

Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2012
Abstract Various models of the origin of the asthenosphere are reviewed based on the latest observations on mineral physics of mechanical properties, melting relationships and the thermal models of the upper mantle. Partial melting likely occurs throughout the upper mantle except for the lithosphere.

Lithosphere–asthenosphere viscosity contrast and decoupling

Physics of the Earth and Planetary Interiors, 2011
The coupling/decoupling between the lithosphere and asthenosphere has significant implications for understanding many important aspects of plate tectonics and geodynamics. To drive plate motion, man- tle convection requires coupling at the lithosphere–asthenosphere (LA) interface.

A dynamic lithosphere–asthenosphere boundary near the equatorial Mid-Atlantic Ridge

Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2021
In plate tectonic theory a weak asthenosphere is required to facilitate the motions of the rigid plates. Partial melt could weaken the mantle, in turn impacting convection, but to date the existence of persistent melt has remained controversial.

The petrological control on the lithosphere-asthenosphere boundary (LAB) beneath ocean basins

Earth-Science Reviews, 2018
The plate tectonics theory established ~ 50 years ago has formed a solid framework for understanding how the earth works on all scales. In this theory, movement of the tectonic plates relative to the subjacent asthenosphere is one of the fundamental ...
