Lithospheric Stress Tensor from Gravity and Lithospheric Structure Models

Pure and Applied Geophysics, 2017
In this study we investigate the lithospheric stresses computed from the gravity and lithospheric structure models. The functional relation between the lithospheric stress tensor and the gravity field parameters is formulated based on solving the boundary-value problem of elasticity in order to determine the propagation of stresses inside 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

Deep lithospheric dynamics beneath the Sierra Nevada during the Mesozoic and Cenozoic as inferred from xenolith petrology [PDF]

, 2001
Peridotite xenoliths erupted in late Miocene basalts (~8 Ma) in the central Sierra Nevada sample a lithosphere that is vertically stratified in terms of age and thermal history.

Lithospheric controls on melt production during continental breakup at slow rates of extension: Application to the North Atlantic

, 2009
Rifted margins form from extension and breakup of the continentallithosphere. If this extension is coeval with a region of hotter lithosphere,then it is generally assumed that a volcanic margin would follow.

The westward drift of the lithosphere. A tidal ratchet? [PDF]

, 2018
Is the westerly rotation of the lithosphere an ephemeral accidental recent phenomenon or is it a stable process of Earth’s geodynamics? The reason why the tidal drag has been questioned as the mechanism determining the lithospheric shift relative to ...

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

Active megadetachment beneath the western United States [PDF]

, 2008
Geodetic data, interpreted in light of seismic imaging, seismicity, xenolith studies, and the late Quaternary geologic history of the northern Great Basin, suggest that a subcontinental-scale extensional detachment is localized near the Moho.

Deep ductile shear localization facilitates near-orthogonal strike-slip faulting in a thin brittle lithosphere [PDF]

, 2020
Some active fault systems comprise near-orthogonal conjugate strike-slip faults, as highlighted by the 2019 Ridgecrest and the 2012 Indian Ocean earthquake sequences.

Geophysical characterisation of the ocean–continent transition at magma-poor rifted margins [PDF]

, 2009
Geophysical characterisation of the ocean-continent transition (OCT) at magma-poor riftedmargins has focused primarily on the determination of P wave velocities using wide-angleseismic techniques. Such experiments have shown that the OCT is heterogeneous,
