Scales of disequilibrium and rates of equilibration during metamorphism*
Mounting evidence suggests that partial disequilibrium—meaning disequilibrium for some elements, but not for others—may be a common but rarely detected phenomenon during metamorphic mineral growth, even in ordinary prograde reactions that progress to completion. Detailed examination of compositional variations in garnet crystals over a range of metamorphic grade suggests distinctly different sc...
متن کاملSnow metamorphism: A fractal approach.
Snow is a porous disordered medium consisting of air and three water phases: ice, vapor, and liquid. The ice phase consists of an assemblage of grains, ice matrix, initially arranged over a random load bearing skeleton. The quantitative relationship between density and morphological characteristics of different snow microstructures is still an open issue. In this work, a three-dimensional fract...

متن کاملLithosphere, Asthenosphere, and Perisphere
"Lithosphere" is a mechanical concept implying strength and relative permanence. Unfortunately, the term has also been applied to the surface thermal boundary layer (TBL) and a shallow enriched geochemical reservoir, features having nothing to do with strength. The "strong" lithosphere is about one half the thickness of the TBL. The bottom of the elastic plate, the maximum depths of midplate an...
متن کاملUnstable extension of Enceladus’ lithosphere
Regions near Enceladus’ equator, Sarandib and Diyar Planitia, contain extensive sets of parallel ridges and troughs that may be diagnostic of the region’s formation conditions. We present photoclinometry profiles across these ridges and troughs, which indicate that they are periodic, low-slope features with dominant wavelengths of 3 to 4 km and amplitudes between 100 and 400 m. The morphology o...
