Seismological structure of the 1.8 Ga Trans-Hudson Orogen of North America [PDF]
, 2016 Precambrian tectonic processes are debated: what was the nature and scale of orogenic events on the younger, hotter, and more ductile Earth? Northern Hudson Bay records the Paleoproterozoic collision between the Western Churchill and Superior plates—the ∼

Rheology of the mantle and tectonics of the oceanic lithospheric plates
Izvestiya, Russian Academy of Sciences. Physics of the Solid Earth, 2012 The modern concepts of the rheology of viscous mantle and brittle lithosphere, as well as the results of the numerical experiments on the processes in a heated layer with a viscosity dependent on pressure, temperature, and shear stress, are reviewed ...

Геодинамика и тектонофизика, 2015 The paper presents the first tectonophysical reconstruction of initial divisibility of the protolithosphere as a result of convection in the cooling primitive mantle. Initial division of the protolithosphere into separate masses, i.e.

The westward drift of the lithosphere. A tidal ratchet? [PDF]
, 2018 Is the westerly rotation of the lithosphere an ephemeral accidental recent phenomenon or is it a stable process of Earth’s geodynamics? The reason why the tidal drag has been questioned as the mechanism determining the lithospheric shift relative to ...

Tertiary-Quaternary subduction processes and related magmatism in the Alpine-Mediterranean region [PDF]
, 2006 During Tertiary to Quaternary times, convergence between Eurasia and Africa resulted in a variety of collisional orogens and different styles of subduction in the Alpine-Mediterranean region.

Age relationships of rifting, subduction and plume processes on the Eastern margin of Asia
Вестник Камчатской региональной ассоциации "Учебно-научный центр". Серия: Науки о Земле, 2021 Based on the comparison of petrochemical characteristics of volcanics with spatial distributions of rheological heterogeneities in the East Asian tectonosphere, new data on the mechanisms and sequence of subduction, rifting, and plume-type central ...

The Hudson Bay Lithospheric Experiment (HuBLE) : Insights into Precambrian Plate Tectonics and the Development of Mantle Keels [PDF]
, 2015 The UK component of HuBLE was supported by Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) grant NE/F007337/1, with financial and logistical support from the Geological Survey of Canada, Canada–Nunavut Geoscience Office, SEIS-UK (the seismic node of NERC ...

Communications Earth & Environment, 2021 The classical concept of collisional orogens suggests that mountain belts form as a crustal wedge between the downgoing and overriding plates. However, this orogenic style is not compatible with the presence of (ultra-)high pressure crustal and mantle ...

Геодинамика и тектонофизика, 2016 The author continues to investigate additional planetary-level stresses that occur in the crust due to distributed tangential mass forces. Such forces may be related to the daily rotation of the Earth and movements of the relatively solid core relative ...
