The Nature of the Lithosphere‐Asthenosphere Boundary
Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2020 Plate tectonic theory was developed 50 years ago and underpins most of our understanding of Earth's evolution. The theory explains observations of magnetic lineations on the seafloor, linear volcanic island chains, large transform fault systems, and deep

Evidence of Segmentation in the Iberia–Africa Plate Boundary: A Jurassic Heritage?
Geosciences, 2019 The present structure of the Iberia−Africa plate boundary between the Gorringe Bank and the Algerian Basin is characterized by a highly segmented geometry and diffused seismicity. Filtered Bouguer gravity data show conspicuous highs coinciding with

Estimation of the effective elastic thickness of the lithosphere: progress and prospects
地球与行星物理论评, 2022 The lithospheric strength is a key factor in controlling the lithosphere dynamics and deformations. The effective elastic thickness (Te) of the lithosphere can always be used to address the lithospheric strength. Hence, it is a powerful tool for studying

Entropy, 2019 In the last decade, the real time ground–based geomagnetic observations realized in correlation with the Vrancea seismicity in Romania, together with supplementary studies related to some earthquakes (Mw9.0 Tohoku, Japan on 11 March 2011 and Mw8.3 ...

Lithospheric failure on Venus [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 2003 We develop a predictive model which has the ability to explain a postulated style of episodic plate tectonics on Venus, through the periodic occurrence of lithospheric subduction events. Present-day incipient subduction zones are associated with the existence of arcuate trenches on the Venusian lithosphere.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2018 Significance We show high-resolution P and S images of the subducted Indian mantle lithosphere, which has been torn into four main pieces. The tearing provides a unified mechanism for (i) Late Miocene and Quaternary rifting, (ii) mantle earthquakes in ...

THE GLOBAL ENDODRAINAGE SYSTEM: SOME FLUID-PHYSICAL MECHANISMS OF GEODYNAMIC PROCESSES
Геодинамика и тектонофизика, 2019 The article presents the main results of more than forty-year studies of the hydrogeodeformation field. We have establish some new properties of lithospheric massifs, which are clearly detectable during the periods of fast geodynamic activation (FGeDA ...

Remote Sensing, 2023 Several possible lithosphere–atmosphere–ionosphere coupling mechanisms before earthquake occurrence are presented in the literature. They are described by several models with different interaction channels (e.g., electromagnetic, mechanics, chemical ...
