Discoidal structure of the lithosphere [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1920 Advanced Summary The following discussion seeks to determine inductively the structural character of the lithosphere at depths beyond the reach of observation. The mechanical state of the outer shell of the lithosphere is discussed on the basis of Adams’ experiments with rocks under confining pressures, which demonstrate that pressure increases the ...

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2018 Juxtaposed terranes of highly varied tectonic history make up the contiguous U.S.: the tectonically active western U.S., the largely quiescent Archean and Proterozoic cratons of the central U.S., and the Phanerozoic orogen and rifted margin of the ...

The subantarctic lithospheric mantle [PDF]
Geological Society, London, Memoirs, 2021 Abstract We present a summary of peridotite in the Subantarctic (46–60° S) surrounding the Antarctic Plate. Peridotite xenoliths occur on the Kerguelen Islands and Auckland Islands. The Kerguelen Islands are underlain by a plume, whereas the Auckland Islands are part of continental Zealandia, which is a Gondwana-rifted fragment. Small amounts

Time-dependent frictional properties of granular materials used in analogue modelling: implications for mimicking fault healing during reactivation and inversion [PDF]
Solid Earth, 2023 Analogue models are often used to model long-term geological processes such as mountain building or basin inversion. Most of these models use granular materials such as sand or glass beads to simulate the brittle behaviour of the crust.

Earth and Planetary Physics, 2022 Active-source surface wave exploration is advantageous because it has high imaging accuracy, is not affected by high-speed layers, and has a low cost; thus, it has unique advantages for investigating shallow surface structures.

Surface wave imaging using deep reflection seismic data: a study on the Cuonadong dome
Earth, Planets and Space, 2022 As interference waves in deep reflection data processing, surface waves are often suppressed as noise, but surface waves carry considerable underground media information, including structural information and the physical properties of rocks.

Entropy, 2021 An earthquake of Mw6.4 hit the coastal zone of Albania on 26 November 2019, at 02:54:11 UTC. It was intensively felt at about 34 km away, in Tirana City, where damages and lives lost occurred.

Nature Geoscience, 2020 In the absence of global plate tectonics, mantle convection and plume–lithosphere interaction are the main drivers of surface deformation on Venus. Among documented tectonic structures, circular volcano-tectonic features known as coronae may be the ...

Entropy, 2022 A very strong earthquake of magnitude Mw8.2 struck the coastal zone of Alaska (USA), on 29 July 2021. This earthquake was felt around the Gulf of Alaska, on a wide offshore area belonging to USA and Canada.

Intraplate lithosphere deformation and the strength of the lithosphere [PDF]
Geophysical Journal International, 1984 Summary. The intraplate deformation of continental lithosphere in response to applied stress has been investigated using a mathematical model which incorporates the elastic, ductile and brittle response of lithosphere material. Ductile deformation is assumed to be controlled in the crust by dislocation creep in quartz, and in the mantle by dislocation ...
