An exploratory study examining 10th-grade students' conceptions about mountain building and relief [PDF]
SHS Web of Conferences, 2019 Mountain building is a subject that has not been thoroughly explored in relation to misconception research. However, mountain building is complex, involving not only endogenous processes, but also exogenous ones.

Secular variations of the geomagnetic field on litosphere plates of the Earth
Геофизический журнал, 2018 The dependence of the value and sign of the geomagnetic secular variations (SV) refined of 3- and 11-year components on the position of observatories at different tectonic plates is investigated.

The role of elasticity in slab bending [PDF]
, 2014 International audiencePrevious studies showed that plate rheology exerts a dominant control on the shape and velocity of subducting plates. Here, we perform a systematic investigation of the role of elasticity in slab bending, using fully dynamic 2-D ...

Earthquake distribution and lithospheric rheology beneath the Northwestern Andes, Colombia
Geodesy and Geodynamics, 2021 The rheological behavior of the lithosphere beneath the Northwestern (NW) Andes (Colombian) remains uncertain under a complex geological setting. Here, we analyze the earthquake distribution and the stress drop on the western and the eastern of the ...

Effective elastic thickness in the Central Andes. Correlation to orogenic deformation styles and lower crust high-gravity anomaly [PDF]
, 2018 Global studies have assessed the importance of elastic thickness (Te) on orogenic evolution, showing that the style and nature of upper crustal shortening are influenced by the inherited lithospheric strength. Thus, pioneer works have identified that the

Axisymmetric bend of the lithospheric plate of the exponential profile
Алматы технологиялық университетінің хабаршысы, 2021 Earth 's seismic and volcanic activity is related to plate tectonics. Thin elastic surface plates form a lithosphere which experience different loads. The article considers a new model of the stressstrain state of the axisymmetric lithospheric plate of ...

Toward a Self‐Consistent Characterization of Lithospheric Plates Using Full‐Spectrum Viscoelasticity
AGU Advances, 2020 Determining the thickness of the lithosphere in any given setting combines uncertainty in both the observational method and laboratory‐derived understanding of mantle rheology. The many observational and modeling criteria across geophysical subfields for
