چکیده

Peridotite xenoliths, raised to the surface by alkaline basalts or kimberlites,provide us direct information on processes and composition of upper mantle. They are major source state stress,pressure temperature in deep thus a petrological geochemical that is generally not available Earth’s surface. Fresh spinel-lherzolite xenoliths exhibit protogranular components Tello volcano.

On the state of sublithospheric upper mantle beneath a supercontinent

S U M M A R Y An assumption of isothermal and static asthenosphere as the normal state of sublithospheric mantle, as commonly employed in studies of terrestrial magmatism, may be physically implausible for a system cooled from above. The growth of an unstable thermal boundary layer at the base of the lithosphere can lead to small-scale convection, so asthenosphere is expected to be usually conv...

Deformation in the asthenospheric mantle beneath the Carpathian-Pannonian Region

To better understand the evolution and present-day tectonics of the Carpathian-Pannonian Region (CPR), we characterize the upper mantle anisotropic structure. We present a shear wave splitting analysis from teleseismic events recorded at the Carpathian Basin Project and permanent stations located in the CPR. The results show a large-scale uniform NW-SE fast orientation under the entire CPR. Com...

Mantle discontinuities beneath Southern Africa

[1] Seismic velocity discontinuities within the top 1000 km of the Earth beneath southern Africa are imaged by stacking about 1300 source-normalized broadband seismograms recorded by the Southern African Seismic Experiment. The Moho, 410, and 660 kilometer discontinuities are clearly detected. The mean mantle transition zone thickness is 245 km, essentially the same as the global average, sugge...

Upper mantle anisotropy beneath the Geoscope stations

Seismic anisotropy has been widely studied this last decade, particularly by measuring splitting of vertically propagating core shear waves. The main interest in this technique is to characterize upper mantle flow beneath seismic stations. On the other hand, the major restriction in this method is that a single station gives a single anisotropy measurement. Alternative methods have been develop...

Seismic structure in the mantle beneath Australia

The exposed geology of the Australian continent is composed of an assemblage of crustal blocks that can be broadly grouped into the Precambrian western and central cratons and the Phanerozoic eastern province (Figure 1). Structural differences between the Precambrian shield and eastern Australia are inferred from surface-wave dispersion (Muirhead & Drummond 1991; Denham 1991) and teleseismic tr...
