متن کاملOceanic molybdenum isotope fractionation: Diagenesis and hydrothermal ridgeâ•’flank alteration
[1] Isotopic analyses of dissolved molybdenum are presented for sediment pore waters from a reducing sedimentary basin and for fluids from a low-temperature ridge flank hydrothermal system. dMo in these fluids range from 0.8 to 3.5% (relative to a laboratory standard), demonstrating that marine sedimentary reactions significantly fractionate Mo isotopes. Within the upper 3 cm of sediment, manga...
متن کاملOn the Yield Strength of Oceanic Lithosphere
The yield strength of oceanic lithosphere determines the mode of mantle convection in a terrestrial planet, and low-temperature plasticity in olivine aggregates is generally believed to govern the plastic rheology of the stiffest part of lithosphere. Because, so far, proposed flow laws for this mechanism exhibit nontrivial discrepancies, we revisit the recent high-pressure deformation data of M...
متن کاملEffective thermal expansivity of Maxwellian oceanic lithosphere
The thermal expansivity of oceanic lithosphere is a key mineral physics parameter that controls the rate of seafloor subsidence. Because of strongly temperature-dependent mantle rheology, effective expansivity for lithosphere as a whole could be substantially lower than indicated by mineral physics data. Viscoelastic modeling indicates that this reduction in expansivity could be as high as ∼15–...
متن کاملGeoid Data and Thermal Structure of the Oceanic Lithosphere
A long-standing question is whether old oceanic lithosphere continues cooling as the boundary layer of a halfspace or approaches thermal equilibrium, as modeled by a finite thickness plate. Although the latter is the most direct inference from seafloor depths and heat flow, other explanations have been proposed. We investigate this issue using published results for the derivative of the oceanic...
