Extension in the Tyrrhenian Sea and shortening in the Apennines as result of arc migration driven by sinking of the lithosphere

, 1986
Previously proposed models for the evolution of the Tyrrhenian basin-Apenninic arc system do not seem to satisfactorily explain the dynamic relationship between extension in the Tyrrhenian and compression in the Apennines.

The Lithosphere of the Ukraine

First Break, 1983
The study of deep crustal and upper mantle zones is one of the major problems of both theoretical and practical character in modern geology. Principal methods of lithosphere analysis are geophysical, mainly seismic ones, as they provide the most reliable data on lithospheric structure and its physical properties.

How Thick is the Lithosphere ?

Nature, 1970
A rapid decrease in shear velocity in the suboceanic mantle is used to infer the thickness of the lithosphere. It is proposed that new and highly precise group velocity data constrain the solutions and imply a thickness near 70 km.

Ophiolite genesis and global tectonics: Geochemical and tectonic fingerprinting of ancient oceanic lithosphere

, 2011
Ophiolites, and discussions on their origin and significance in Earth's history, have been instrumental in the formulation, testing, and establishment of hypotheses and theories in earth sciences.

Uniform-sense normal simple shear of the continental lithosphere

, 1985
Geophysical studies suggest that the thin crust characteristic of the Basin and Range Province extends eastward beneath the west margin of the Colorado Plateau and Rocky Mountain regions. In Arizona and Utah, zones perhaps over 100 km wide may be defined,

Rheology and strength of the lithosphere

Marine and Petroleum Geology, 2011
Abstract Mechanical properties of lithosphere are of primary importance for interpretation of deformation at all spatial and time scales, from local scale to large-scale geodynamics and from seismic time scale to billions of years. Depending on loading conditions and time scale, lithosphere exhibits elastic, brittle (plastic) or viscous (ductile ...
