Geochemistry, Geophysics, GeosystemsThe relationship between the lithosphere and the mantle during the supercontinent cycle is complex and poorly constrained. The processes which drive dispersal are often simplified to two end members: slab pull and plume push.

Mantle wedge serpentinization effects on slab dips
Terrestrial, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, 2017 The mechanical coupling between a subducting slab and the overlying mantle wedge is an important factor in controlling the subduction dip angle and the flow in mantel wedge. This paper investigates the role of the amount of mantle serpentinization on the

Imaging a Decratonized Lithosphere: A Case of the Eastern North China Craton
Geophysical Research Letters, 2022 During decratonization, the cratonic lithosphere mantle experienced composition transformation and thinning, which have been extensively studied in the North China Craton.

Deep ductile shear localization facilitates near-orthogonal strike-slip faulting in a thin brittle lithosphere [PDF]
, 2020 Some active fault systems comprise near-orthogonal conjugate strike-slip faults, as highlighted by the 2019 Ridgecrest and the 2012 Indian Ocean earthquake sequences.

Mechanism of Deep-focus Earthquakes Anomalous Statistics
, 2010 Analyzing the NEIC-data we have shown that the spatial deep-focus earthquake distribution in the Earth interior over the 1993-2006 is characterized by the clearly defined periodical fine discrete structure with period L=50 km, which is solely generated ...

Effects of upper mantle heterogeneities on the lithospheric stress field and dynamic topography [PDF]
Solid Earth, 2018 The orientation and tectonic regime of the observed crustal/lithospheric stress field contribute to our knowledge of different deformation processes occurring within the Earth's crust and lithosphere.
