Примери за the lithosphere

• This suggests that the deformation of the lithosphere is strongly controlled by interfering vertical and lateral heterogeneities.

• First, the elastic response of the lithosphere to loading is included.

• This rheological layering raises a series of fundamental questions on the mechanics of the lithosphere.

• Derivation of some modern arc magmas by melting of young subducted lithosphere.

• As such, it provides a strong conceptual basis for illustrating the linkages between atmosphere, lithosphere, hydrosphere and biosphere.

• It will be less useful for those working on oceanic lithosphere, hydrocarbon geology or mineralization processes.

• Thus, fluids associated with subduction may have been responsible for triggering partial melting of lithosphere already experiencing decompression as a result of extension.

• Either of these mechanisms can cause the hot asthenosphere to rise close to the metasomatized lithosphere, initiating melting.

• There is considerable debate about the range of values of e for continental lithosphere.

• Instead, our results suggest that convective drawdown plays a role by pulling lithosphere toward the zone of maximum shortening.

• In particular, is the source of within-plate basaltic magmas in an extensional setting the lithosphere, convecting asthenosphere or both?

• The volume and composition of melt generated by extension of the lithosphere.

• The strain rate at which the lithosphere was stretched is taken as a standard 10-15sec-1.

• Selecting 100 km gives a conservative estimate as this area has the thinnest lithosphere and will produce the least lamprophyre on rifting.

• It is clear that such narrow cracks would be incapable of transporting significant volumes of magma through the lithosphere.
