4. Subduction of oceanic lithosphere
, 2015 ‘Subduction of oceanic lithosphere’ begins with the notion that for the Earth not to expand, the sum total of new lithosphere made at a spreading centre (or mid-ocean ridge) must be matched by the removal, by subduction, of an equal amount of lithosphere

Interaction of mantle convection with the lithosphere and the origin of kimberlites
Геофизический журнал, 2013 Thermobarometry of xenolites/xenocrysts from 39 kimberlites of Eurasia, Africa, and North America demonstrates that the deepest xenolites, as well as all the other, are exhumed from the depleted lithosphere implying in agreement with petrologic and ...

The Zagros Core: Deformation of the continental lithospheric mantle
The Zagros of Iran form one of the youngest collisional orogenic belts on Earth. At shallow depths, shortening across the Zagros is accommodated by folding in the sediments, high-angle thrust faulting in the basement and thickening of the lower crust ...

Intracontinental Deformation Caused by Gravitational Lithosphere Removal
, 2015 Gravitational removal of the dense lower lithosphere is proposed to be a fundamental process in continental tectonics. This has been used to explain seismological observations of an abnormally thin lithosphere beneath some regions and evidence for ...

gas produced by serpentinization within oceanic lithosphere
, 2016 It has recently been estimated that serpentinization within continental lithosphere produces H2 at rates comparable to oceanic lithosphere (both are ~1011 mol H2/yr).

Twinning Strains in Synfolding Calcite, Proterozoic Sinian System, China
Geosciences, 2018 Synfolding calcite was precipitated between layers of Neoproterozoic sandy dolomite and striated parallel to the fold axis of an open anticline with a shallow plunge during folding. The fold had limb dips of 45° and plunged 20° to the south.

Modelling the controls on melt generation during continental extension and breakup
, 2008 Rifting is the process that leads to the formation of oceans. Rifting is the break up ofcontinents, leading to the formation of new oceanic floor between the two continentalplates.

Lithospheric structure of the Aegean obtained from P and S receiver functions
Combined P and S receiver functions from seismograms of teleseismic events recorded at 65 temporary and permanent stations in the Aegean region are used to map the geometry of the subducted African and the overriding Aegean plates.
