Delineating the Central Anatolia Transition Zone (CATZ): Constraints from Integrated Geodetic (GNSS/InSAR) and Seismic Data [PDF]
SensorsUnderstanding how strain is transferred across the interior of tectonic plates is fundamental to quantifying lithospheric deformation. The Central Anatolia Transition Zone (CATZ), situated between the North and East Anatolian fault systems, provides a ...

The subduction dichotomy of strong plates and weak slabs [PDF]
Solid Earth, 2017 A key element of plate tectonics on Earth is that the lithosphere is subducting into the mantle. Subduction results from forces that bend and pull the lithosphere into the interior of the Earth.

On the plate velocity scaling break [PDF]
Scientific ReportsThis research presents the discovery of a kink in the frequency-size distribution of plate angular velocities in different reference frames, a feature not predicted by current physical models of plate tectonics.

About Earthquakes in Subduction Zones with the Potential to Cause a Tsunami [PDF]
Journal of Applied and Computational Mechanics, 2021 The problem of occurrence of starting earthquakes in subduction zones is considered. Subduction is the phenomenon of movement of the oceanic lithospheric plate under the continental one.

A 3-D shear velocity model of the southern North American and Caribbean plates from ambient noise and earthquake tomography [PDF]
Solid Earth, 2015 We use group velocities from earthquake tomography together with group and phase velocities from ambient noise tomography (ANT) of Rayleigh waves to invert for the 3-D shear-wave velocity structure (5–70 km) of the Caribbean (CAR) and southern North ...

A New View on the Global Redox-Cycle of Biosphere Carbon
C, 2023 The global carbon cycle model is presented as a natural self-regulating machine that provides renewable biomass synthesis during evolution. The machine consists of two parts, geological and biosphere. Between the parts, there is an interaction.

Influence of the asthenosphere on earth dynamics and evolution
Scientific Reports, 2023 The existence of a thin, weak asthenospheric layer beneath Earth’s lithospheric plates is consistent with existing geological and geophysical constraints, including Pleistocene glacio-isostatic adjustment, modeling of gravity anomalies, studies of ...

Folding and necking across the scales: a review of theoretical and experimental results and their applications [PDF]
Solid Earth, 2016 The shortening and extension of mechanically layered ductile rock generates folds and pinch-and-swell structures (also referred to as necks or continuous boudins), which result from mechanical instabilities termed folding and necking, respectively ...

The genesis of tangential mass forces in lithospheric plates, and their role in geodynamics
Вестник Камчатской региональной ассоциации "Учебно-научный центр". Серия: Науки о Земле, 2020 The problem of determining small tangential mass forces in the Earth lithosphere is formulated. It is shown that the current state in understanding the shape of The Earth's physical surface and data on its geoid allow us to determine deviations of the ...
