Structural reactivation in plate tectonics controlled by olivine crystal anisotropy

, 2009
Reactivation of structures inherited from previous collisional or rifting events, especially lithospheric-scale faults, is a major feature of plate tectonics.

Viscous drag and lateral viscosity heterogeneities: implications for intraplate deformation

, 1993
We consider the effects of lateral Variations in the thickness of the lithosphere on surface topography, horizontal intraplate deformation and stress accumulation for plates that drift with respect to the highly viscous lower mantle and transition zone ...

The Role of Upper Mantle Forces in Post‐Subduction Tectonics: Plumelet and Active Rifting in the East Anatolian Plateau

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems
The spatiotemporal interaction of large‐ and regional‐scale upper mantle forces can prevail in collisional settings. To better understand the role of these forces on post‐subduction tectonics, we focus on mantle dynamics in the East Anatolian Plateau, a ...

Primordial neon and the deep mantle origin of kimberlites

Nature Communications
The genesis of kimberlites is unclear despite the economic and scientific interest surrounding these diamond-bearing magmas. One critical question is whether they tap ancient, deep mantle domains or the shallow convecting mantle with partial melting ...

Strength reversal in Europes intraplate lithosphere Transition from basin inversion to lithospheric folding

, 2005
An intriguing paradox in European tectonics is that present intracontinental seismicity seems to be broadly distributed, whereas past deformation was restricted to sedimentary basin areas.

Archaean multi-stage magmatic underplating drove formation of continental nuclei in the North China Craton

Nature Communications
The geodynamic processes that formed Earth’s earliest continents are intensely debated. Particularly, the transformation from ancient crustal nuclei into mature Archaean cratons is unclear, primarily owing to the paucity of well-preserved Eoarchaean ...

Onset of double subduction controls plate motion reorganisation

Nature Communications
Face-to-face double subduction systems, in which two oceanic plates subduct toward each other, are essential elements of plate tectonics. Two subduction zones in such systems are typically uneven in age and their spatially and temporally variable ...

Plio–Quaternary Geometry and Kinematics of Ptolemais Basin (Northern Greece): Implications for the Intra-Plate Tectonics in Western Macedonia

Geologia Croatica, 2006
