Tectonic evolution of a continental collision zone: A thermomechanical numerical model [PDF]
, 2004 We model evolution of a continent-continent collision and draw some parallels with the tectonic evolution of the Himalaya. We use a large-scale visco-plasto-elastic thermomechanical model that has a free upper surface, accounts for erosion and deposition

Age, Depth, and Residual Depth Anomalies in the North Pacific: Implications for Thermal Models of the Lithosphere and Upper Mantle [PDF]
, 1986 We present an empirical basement depth versus age relation for the North Pacific Ocean, based on the statistical treatment of an ocean-wide gridded data set.

The origin of the Tengchong volcano: A review of geophysical and geochemical studies
地球与行星物理论评, 2023 The Tengchong Cenozoic volcano is located near the collision boundary between the Indian and Eurasian plates. The tectonic activity in this area is strong, and the volcano has a potential for eruption.

Rheological control of Wadati-Benioff zone seismicity [PDF]
, 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.

Lithosphere dynamics and sedimentary basins: the Arabian plate and analogues [PDF]
Arabian Journal of Geosciences, 2010 The Task Force on Sedimentary Basins was initiated in 2005 on behalf of the International Lithosphere Programme (ILP), in order to (1) assist the international community of Earth Scientists involved in the study of asthenospheric and deep lithospheric/crustal processes to exchange views with colleagues involved in the study of sedimentary basins,

Accelerated non-linear destruction of the earth's crust
Discrete Dynamics in Nature and Society, 2001 The upper part of the Earth—the lithospheric layer, ∼100 km thick, is rigid. Segments of this spherical shell–lithospheric plates are drifting over a ductile asthenosphere.

On the motion of lithospheric plates in the oceans and transition zones
Геофизический журнал, 2018 The formation; horizontal displacement and immersion of lithospheric plates; corresponding to the plate tectonics hypothesis; are considered. It is shown that the magmatism of the mid-oceanic ridges does not correspond to the volume of the crust of ...

Deformation and Instability of Underthrusting Lithospheric Plates [PDF]
Geophysical Journal of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2009 Summary Recent confirmation of the relationship between seismology and tectonic plate movement has focused attention on the deformation and instability of lithospheric plates. In this paper models of the underthrusting litho-sphere for the calculation of displacement and deflection are constructed.

Геодинамика и тектонофизика, 2021 In modern concepts, the upper mantle of the Earth is a highly viscous incompressible liquid, and its flow is described using the Navier – Stokes equations in the Oberbeck – Boussinesq and geodynamic approximations.

New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 1, March 2026.The Eastern Himalayan Syntaxis (EHS), which is located at the southeastern edge of the Qinghai–Xizang Plateau, is a key region for understanding mountain‐building and subduction processes. Bouguer gravity anomalies derived from the Earth Gravitational Model 2008 free‐air anomaly data following topographic corrections, were analyzed.
