Mantle conductivity structure beneath eastern China using 3-D geomagnetic depth sounding

Frontiers in Earth Science
The distribution of water in the mantle plays a critical role in deep earth dynamic processes, including plate subduction, earthquake generation, and magmatic activity.

A New Global Theory of the Earth's Dynamics : a Single Cause Can Explain All the Geophysical and Geological Phenomena

, 2005
After describing all the contradictions associated with the current Plate Tectonics theory, this paper proposes a model where a single cause can explain all geophysical and geological phenomena.

Hydrous Regions of the Mantle Transition Zone Lie Beneath Areas of Continental Intraplate Volcanism

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems
Great volumes of water are carried downward into the mantle transition zone (MTZ, 410–670 km depth) by subducting slabs. If this water is later drawn upward, the resulting mantle melting may generate continental intraplate volcanism (IPV).

Magmatic fingerprints of subduction initiation and mature subduction: numerical modelling and observations from the Izu-Bonin-Mariana system

Frontiers in Earth Science
Understanding the formation of new subduction zones is important because they have been proposed as the main driving mechanism for plate tectonics and they are crucial for geochemical cycles on Earth.
