Geologica Carpathica, 2015 In this paper we present the petrography and geochemistry of a recently collected lherzolite-websterite xenolith series and of clinopyroxene xenocrysts, hosted in Upper Cretaceous–Paleogene basanites of Poiana Ruscă (Romania), whose xenoliths show ...

Buckling of the oceanic lithosphere from geophysical data and experiments
, 1992 Two major hypothesis have been advanced for the formation of the long wavelength (100-300) km undulations of oceanic basement and overlying sediments developed in the central Indian Ocean: whole layer folding (buckling) and local thickening (inverse ...

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

Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 1984 What is the lithosphere? What things subduct, what things do not, and why? How is the lower continental crust formed? Where are the large‐ion lithophile elements stored? Is the style of plate tectonics episodic? These and related questions were considered during a workshop held at the University of Texas at Austin in March 1982 under the sponsorship of

Rejuvenation of the lithosphere by the Hawaiian plume [PDF]
Nature, 2004 The volcanism responsible for creating the chain of the Hawaiian islands and seamounts is believed to mark the passage of the oceanic lithosphere over a mantle plume. In this picture hot material rises from great depth within a fixed narrow conduit to the surface, penetrating the moving lithosphere.

The effective elastic thickness of the India Plate from receiver function imaging, gravity anomalies and thermomechanical modelling [PDF]
, 2006 The range and the meaning of the effective elastic thickness (EET) in continental areas have been subject to controversy over the last two decades. Here we take advantage of the new data set from the Hi-CLIMB seismological experiment to re-estimate the ...

Altered Mantle Fabric Beneath the Mid‐Continent Rift
Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2021 We present new, densely sampled shear‐wave splitting results from southern Minnesota and adjacent areas of neighboring states, sampling the southwestern limit of the Archean Superior Province and straddling the Proterozoic Mid‐Continent Rift (MCR).

Rifts, orogens, cratons, and global tectonics: Introduction
Геодинамика и тектонофизика, 2017 A key role in developing the Earth theory is played by comparative studies of orogens, rifts, and platforms in the equatorial, middle and high latitudes of Asia and the adjacent Arctic regions.

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2021 Spatio‐temporal changes of upper mantle structure play a significant role in generating and maintaining surface topography. Although geophysical models of upper mantle structure have become increasingly refined, there is a paucity of geologic constraints
