Present-day plate motion constraint on mantle rheology and convection
Large-scale mantle convection, to first order, is a system driven by interior density anomalies, modulated by variable plate thickness and extreme theology variations at the top of the mantle. The rheological difference between oceanic and continental regions significantly influences the surface velocity. We apply a three-dimensional NewtonJan viscous flow model to explain the largescale presen...
متن کاملLayered Mantle Convection and Magma Production on Mars: Effects of Dense
Introduction: Geologically recent volcanism on Mars [1-4] can be well explained with mantle convection and plumes [5-7]. Most of these studies have assumed single layer convection in Martian mantle. However, a layered Martian mantle has been suggested in the model of magma ocean and mantle overturn [8]. The possible effects of such stratification on the early volcanism, magnetic dynamo, and the...
متن کاملDegree-one mantle convection: Dependence on internal heating and temperature-dependent rheology
[1] Geophysical and geological observations suggest that a degree-one mantle flow pattern, consisting of one upwelling and one downwelling, may have existed at some time in the mantles of Mars, the Moon, and perhaps even for the Earth during times of supercontinent formation. Simple fluid experiments utilizing isoviscous rheologies predict shorter wavelength flow patterns, and it is therefore i...
متن کاملMars Is Not Dead: Mantle Convection Controls the Observed Lateral Variations in Lithospheric Thickness on Present-day Mars
Introduction Because the transition from elastic to viscous behavior in silicate materials is controlled by temperature [1], measurements of the thickness of a planet's elastic lithosphere (T E) provide important constraints on the thermal structure and evolution of the lithosphere. For Mars, surface geophysical measurements have not yet been made, so estimates of T E have been made using orbit...
متن کاملstudy the effects of low level laser diode on no production and healing of diabetic and cortisone acetate and normal wounded sd rats
nitric oxide (no) is a small molecule synthesized by most of mammalian cells with diverse biological activities including vasodilatation, host defense and wound healing. impaired wound healing is a common occurrence among diabetics and patients receiving glucocorticoid therapy. on the other hand the application of laser in biomedical area have been increased. thus, the current studies were desi...
