Melting of cognetic depleted and enriched reservoirs and the production of high Ti Mare basalts [PDF]
Implicit in current understanding of the location of terrestrial enriched and depleted reservoirs is the notion that they are spatially separated. The depleted reservoir on Earth is situated in the upper mantle, and the complementary enriched reservoir ...

Seismic properties of the crust and uppermost mantle of North America [PDF]
Seismic refraction profiles for the North American continent were compiled. The crustal models compiled data on the upper mantle seismic velocity (P sub n), the crustal thickness (H sub c) and the average seismic velocity of the crystalline crust (V sub ...

Driving forces: Slab subduction and mantle convection [PDF]
Mantle convection is the mechanism ultimately responsible for most geological activity at Earth's surface. To zeroth order, the lithosphere is the cold outer thermal boundary layer of the convecting mantle.

The role of a pressure-dependent rheology in the dynamics of mantle circulation [PDF]
A thermomechanical model for upper mantle convection was constructed such that the thickness and the structure of the lithosphere are determined self consistently by the heat transported by convection.

Petrologic constraints on the pressure, temperature, time and composition of the Martian interior [PDF]
Petrologic analysis of surface samples has been used to deduce pressure and temperature conditions existing in the crust and upper mantle at specific times in the Earth's history, as well as to estimate the chemical and mineralogical composition of the ...
