, 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.

Post-collisional Tertiary–Quaternary mafic alkalic magmatism in the Carpathian–Pannonian region: a review [PDF]
, 2004 Mafic alkalic volcanism was widespread in the Carpathian–Pannonian region (CPR) between 11 and 0.2 Ma. It followed the Miocene continental collision of the Alcapa and Tisia blocks with the European plate, as subduction-related calc-alkaline magmatism was

Geophysical Research Letters, 2021 Heat flow measurements are important for our understanding of planetary interior composition, structure, and evolution. In the absence of direct measurement, a first‐order estimate of a planet's interior heat flow can be made by modeling the lithosphere ...

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.

Is There a Global Carbonate Layer in the Oceanic Mantle?
Geophysical Research Letters, 2021 Previous modeling of carbonate subduction by high‐pressure experimentation has allowed to propose scenarios for bulk carbon return to the mantle, but the detailed transfer mechanisms have seldom been studied.

Discoidal Structure of the Lithosphere [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1919 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 ...

Age, Depth, and Residual Depth Anomalies in the North Pacific: Implications for Thermal Models of the Lithosphere and Upper Mantle [PDF]
, 1986 We present an empirical basement depth versus age relation for the North Pacific Ocean, based on the statistical treatment of an ocean-wide gridded data set.

The Ability of Significant Tidal Stress to Initiate Plate Tectonics [PDF]
, 2019 Plate tectonics is a geophysical process currently unique to Earth, has an important role in regulating the Earth's climate, and may be better understood by identifying rocky planets outside our solar system with tectonic activity.
