Mechanochemical Enhancement of Siderite‐To‐Magnetite Conversion in Faults

Geophysical Research Letters
Magnetic phases in fault rocks offer potential “geothermometers” for estimating frictional heating during fault slip. However, the thermochemical kinetics of magnetic minerals subjected to shear deformation in hydrothermal fluids‐conditions typical of ...

Intraplate earthquakes in the southwest Pacific Ocean Basin and the seismotectonics of the southern Tasman Sea

, 2012
An examination of 311 intraplate earthquakes in the Australian plate portion of the Pacific Ocean basin reported from 1918 to 1990 reveals that only 113 events are reliably intraplate, with most of the rest relocating to active trenches and transforms ...

Atypical Linear Tectonic Block of the Intraplate Deformation Zone in the Central Indian Ocean Basin

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
The Central Indian Ocean Basin (CIOB) is distinguished by unusually high tectonic activity, setting it apart from all other passive oceanic basins. Within the interior of the Indo-Australian lithospheric plate lies a unique area of intraplate deformation.

Global Influence of Mantle Temperature and Plate Thickness on Intraplate Magmatism [PDF]

The thermochemical structure of lithospheric and asthenospheric mantle exert primary controls on surface topography and volcanic activity. Volcanic rock compositions and mantle seismic velocities provide indirect observations of this structure.

Thermo-mechanical controls on intraplate deformation and the role of plume – folding interactions in continental topography

, 2013
Thermo-tectonic age and inherited structure exert the main controls on the bulk strength of the lithosphere in intraplate settings. Mechanical decoupling within the lithosphere strongly affects the interaction between deep Earth and surface processes ...

Scaling differences between large interplate and intraplate earthquakes [PDF]

, 1985
A study of large intraplate earthquakes with well determined source parameters shows that these earthquakes obey a scaling law similar to large interplate earthquakes, in which M sub o varies as L sup 2 or u = alpha L where L is rupture length and u is ...

Numerical modelling of intraplate earthquake by 2-dimensional distinct element method

, 1990
computational model for an intraplate earthquake source, comprising of three blocks and two intersection faults, is analysed by using a two-dimensional Distinct Element Method.
