Assessment of deep electrical conductivity features of Northern Victoria Land (Antarctica) under other geophysical constraints

Annals of Geophysics, 2000
The lithospheric and crustal structure of the Victoria Land continental block (Antarctica) has been studied by geological and geophysical surveys. Among them magnetovariational investigations (MV) have been addressed to highlight the deep electrical ...

CONSTRAINTS ON EXTENSION OF CONTINENTAL LITHOSPHERE

, 1983
The extension of the continental lithosphere is considered in terms of the deformation of a thin viscous sheet with a temperature-dependent rheology which is governed primarily by the strength of the upper mantle. The lithosphere is subjected either to a

Incompressible viscous formulations for deformation and yielding of the lithosphere

, 2007
: In models of crustal deformation at a scale of a few tens of kilometres, it is appropriate to use a Mohr–Coulomb yield criterion for lithospheric failure based on the idea that frictional slip occurs on whichever one of many randomly oriented planes ...

Late Miocene rejuvenation of central Idaho landscape evolution: A case for surface processes driven by plume-lithosphere interaction

, 2018
We utilized field measurements of erosion rates and topographic analyses to constrain the timing and magnitude of landscape rejuvenation on the western flank of the Rocky Mountains in central Idaho, United States. Deeply incised canyons of the Clearwater,

Dynamic lithosphere within the Great Basin [PDF]

, 2014
To place new constraints on the short-term, broad-scale lithospheric evolution of plate interiors, we utilize broadband seismic data from the Great Basin region of the Western United States to produce high-resolution images of the crust and upper mantle.

Rheological control of Wadati-Benioff zone seismicity

, 1988
Intermediate and deep focus earthquakes in Wadati-Benioff zones are thought to occur in the cold interiors of downgoing slabs which are significantly stronger than the warmer mantle.

Underthrusting and duplexing beneath the northern Tibetan Plateau and the evolution of the Himalayan-Tibetan orogen

, 2019
The Cenozoic Qilian Shan thrust belt is the northern margin of the Tibetan Plateau, which developed in part due to progressive India-Asia convergence during Himalayan-Tibetan orogeny.

Subduction-driven recycling of continental margin lithosphere [PDF]

, 2014
[EN]Whereas subduction recycling of oceanic lithosphere is one of the central themes of plate tectonics, the recycling of continental lithosphere appears to be far more complicated and less well understood1.

Two-sided asymmetric subduction; implications for tectonomagmatic and metallogenic evolution of the Lut Block, Eastern Iran

, 2011
West directed subduction zones show common characteristics, such as low structural elevation, deep trench, steep slab and a conjugate back-arc basin that are opposite to those of the east directed subduction zones.
