Ductile Crustal Flow Facilitates Intraplate Volcanism: Seismic Evidence From Tengchong, China
Abstract The mechanisms and processes driving intraplate volcanism remain incompletely understood despite significant advances in recent decades. Here, we use high‐resolution multiparameter full‐waveform inversion to image the three‐dimensional seismic structure beneath the Tengchong volcanic region in southwestern China. Our model reveals a pronounced

Termination of Laurentia's Rapid Plate Motion at the Start of the Grenvillian Orogeny
Abstract Late Mesoproterozoic to Neoproterozoic sedimentary sequences within the Lake Superior region preserve critical paleogeographic records of the position of Laurentia spanning from the end of Midcontinent Rift extension through to the end of the Grenvillian Orogeny.

Constraining the Source Craters of Apollo Impact Melts
Abstract Interpreting the age distribution of Apollo samples to determine the early bombardment history of the Moon has been fraught with controversy, and the question of how much material from large impact basins such as Imbrium is present in the Apollo sample collection remains unresolved. Here, we model impact melt production and transportation over

Out‐of‐Sequence Nucleation in a Blueschist From Syros, Greece
ABSTRACT Two samples of garnet + glaucophane + chloritoid + phengite + paragonite + quartz + epidote + rutile schist from the Cycladic Blueschist Unit of Syros, Greece, have been examined in detail in order to constrain the paragenetic sequence and to infer the processes and time scales for metamorphic recrystallization.

Long‐Term Radiogenic Heating by Abortively Erupted Basalts Triggers 120 Ma Lunar Volcanism
Abstract The mantle source and formation mechanism of the recently discovered ∼120 Ma lunar volcanic glass beads (VGBs) in Chang'e‐5 samples remain elusive. By systematically comparing the compositions of ∼120 Ma VGBs with those of ancient Apollo VGBs, we propose a distinctive metasomatized mantle source characterized by low‐Ti but enriched in Na2O ...

Shallow Tectonic Tremors Reveal the Beginning of the Slab Window at the Chilean Triple Junction
Abstract The subduction of active spreading centers is an unusual phenomenon along subduction zones. In southern Chile, the Nazca‐Antarctic spreading system (Chile Rise) subducts beneath the South America plate at the Chile Triple Junction (CTJ), forming the Patagonian slab window.
