Experimental Studies of Shear Deformation of Mantle Materials: Towards Structural Geology of the Mantle

Pure and Applied Geophysics, 1998
A brief outline is given on experimental studies carried out in the Minnesota Mineral and Rock Physics Laboratory of microstructural evolution and rheology of mantle mineral aggregates or their analogues, using a simple shear deformation geometry.

Diamonds and the Geology of Mantle Carbon

Reviews in Mineralogy and Geochemistry, 2013
### Introduction Earth’s carbon, derived from planetesimals in the 1 AU region during accretion of the Solar System, still retains similarities to carbon found in meteorites (Marty et al. 2013) even after 4.57 billion years of geological processing.

Geology of the Crust and Mantle, Western United States

Science, 1964
Seismic refraction, gravity, phase velocity, and magnetic data, coupled with the geologic record, are all approximately satisfied by the structure shown in Fig. 9. A 20-kilometer crust under the Coast Ranges and Great Valley thickens to more than 30 kilometers under the Sierra Nevada and parts of the Basin and Range province; this whole area is ...

Currents in the mantle and the geology of continents

Tectonophysics, 1991
Abstract This paper is the first of a series which have considered the possible effects of currents in the mantle upon continents. It mentions effects of aging in oceans upon the direction of slope of coastal peneplains. When oceans are young the coasts are cliffs from which peneplains dip downward on the inland side.

Anatomy of a Venusian hot spot: Geology, gravity, and mantle dynamics of Eistla Regio

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, 1992
Eistla Regio is a series of broad swells, each up to a few thousand kilometers in diameter, in the equatorial highlands of Venus. It is characterized by strong positive free‐air gravity anomalies, shield volcanoes, and rift systems. We present a two‐part study of the western and central portions of this Venusian hot spot.

Sedimentary responses to the Dongwu movement and the influence of the Emeishan mantle plume in Sichuan Basin, Southwest China: significance for petroleum geology

Carbonates and Evaporites, 2020
The various stages of tectonic activity associated with the Dongwu movement (DM) and the associated sedimentary responses in the Sichuan Basin, Southwest China, have been analyzed and their significance for petroleum geology discussed. The analysis was based on the comprehensive analysis of field outcrops, wells, and seismic data.

Earthquake calamity warning from space station: orbital dynamics coupling geology mantle convection

SPIE Proceedings, 2009
It is not surprising that the earthquakes happened among clashing tectonic plate boundaries where numerous earthquake stations exist. Then, why do we need more? The significance of Sichuan and Tongshan earthquakes of China is a wakeup call that major earthquakes of logarithmic Richter scales beyond 7 could happen exactly within a single tectonic ...

Evaluation of ground-penetrating radar (GPR) and geology survey for slope stability study in mantled karst region

Environmental Earth Sciences, 2018
Engineering geological problems such as slope failure may be a result of the karst process. Slope stability evaluation is an effective way to minimize the losses caused by slope failure. In this study, a methodology is developed to evaluate the slope stability.
