Mantle plumes and mantle dynamics in the Wilson cycle [PDF]
Geological Society, London, Special Publications, 2018 Abstract This review discusses the thermal evolution of the mantle following large-scale tectonic activities such as continental collision and continental rifting. About 300 myr ago, continental material amalgamated through the large-scale subduction of oceanic seafloor, marking the termination of one or more oceanic basins (e.g.

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2021 The flow of high‐temperature and compositionally enriched material between mantle plumes and nearby spreading centers influences up to 30% of the global mid‐ocean ridge system and represents a significant, but currently unconstrained, flux of volatiles ...

Modeling Mantle Dynamics in the Banda Sea Triple Junction – Exploring a Possible Link to El Niño Southern Oscillation (Revisited) [PDF]
Journal of Systemics, Cybernetics and Informatics, 2020 The upwelling mantle within the Banda Sea is modeled using computer visualization techniques. The Banda Sea is considered a triple junction of the Pacific, Australian, and Eurasian Plates within the plate tectonic hypothesis.

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2023 To better understand the anisotropic structure and mantle dynamics in and around the Luxi uplift segment of the Tanlu fault zone in East China, we collect waveform data recorded at 47 NCISP (Northern China Interior Structure Project) portable seismic ...

Mountain building and mantle dynamics [PDF]
Tectonics, 2013 Mountain building at convergent margins requires tectonic forces that can overcome frictional resistance along large‐scale thrust faults and support the gravitational potential energy stored within the thickened crust of the orogen. A general, dynamic model for this process is still lacking. Here we propose that mountain belts can be classified between

Impact of upper mantle convection on lithosphere hyperextension and subsequent horizontally forced subduction initiation [PDF]
Solid Earth, 2020 Many plate tectonic processes, such as subduction initiation, are embedded in long-term (>100 Myr) geodynamic cycles often involving subsequent phases of extension, cooling without plate deformation and convergence. However, the impact of upper mantle

Journal of Geography (Chigaku Zasshi), 2005 Recent progress of numerical simulations on the dynamo process in the core and the mantle convection provides a clue to understanding the origin of global variations of the Earth system during the last 150 Ma, in which long-term variations of geomagnetic reversal frequency and mantle activity are closely related in time.

Seismotomography of the mantle under the East European platform: mantle velocity boundaries
Геофизический журнал, 2012 Mantle velocity boundaries of EEP have been specified. For the upper mantle and its tranzi-tion zone dynamics of propagation of mantle velocity limits with depth has been presented.

Dynamical geochemistry of the mantle [PDF]
Solid Earth, 2011 Abstract. The reconciliation of mantle chemistry with the structure of the mantle inferred from geophysics and dynamical modelling has been a long-standing problem. This paper reviews three main aspects. First, extensions and refinements of dynamical modelling and theory of mantle processing over the past decade. Second, a recent reconsideration of the

Marine Anoxia and Ocean Acidification During the End‐Permian Extinction
Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 325-340., 2021 Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.
