Dome formation on Ceres by solid-state flow analogous to terrestrial salt tectonics

Investigation of active tectonics in Koohrang region with a special look at the behavior of Koohrang salt dome

Introduction Changes in land surface shape in active tectonic  zones result from interplay between tectonic forces and surface processes (Keller and Pinter, 1996; Keller et al., 1999). Salt Domes  are dome-shaped Geological structures whose central core is composed of salt. Their economic importance is due to the location of oil tanks in structures with salt domes and also the presence of sulf...

geochemistry and tectonics of the formation of sahanddacitic dome, southeast of tabriz (northwest of iran)

sahand volcanic-sub-volcanic dome, along with several other magmatic domes in northwest iran and the southern part of tabriz fault show adakitic geochemical characteristics. sahand dome has mainly dacitic composition. the sio2 content and mg number of sahand dome range from 64 to 73 wt% and 27 to 57 respectively. sahand dome can be classified as high silica adakitic (hsa) type. the rocks studie...

Ceres : Evolution and Present State

Introduction: We consider Ceres as a prototype for planetary evolution [1]. From thermal modeling by McCord and Sotin [2, 3, 4], Ceres was inferred to have differentiated into a rocky core of hydrated silicates, and an icy outer shell. Thomas et al. [5] confirmed such a model from direct observation of Ceres’s shape from Hubble Space Telescope observations, and pervious occultation measurements...

Controlling stereoselectivity of solid-state photoreactions by co-crystal formation.

An external heavy-atom effect in crystals was found to influence the reaction path of the photocyclization of cyclohexenones drastically, and that was successfully applied to control the cis-trans stereochemistry of the reaction by making co-crystals of heavy-atom containing and non-containing analogues in various ratios.
