Note on the redistribution and dissipation of tidal energy over mid-ocean ridges

The Structure of Mid-Ocean Ridges

Mid-ocean ridges provide an important window into the processes of mantle convection and magmatism. The formation, cooling, and eventual subduction of oceanic lithosphere dominate both the large-scale dynamics of the upper mantle and the Earth’s global heat loss. The melt generated during pressure-release melting of the upwelling mantle beneath mid-ocean ridges contributes most of the annual ma...

Magma Flow at Mid-Ocean Ridges

Liquid water is not stable under current martian surface conditions, but the presence of small gullies on the polewardfacing slopes of midto highlatitude martian surfaces suggests that erosion by liquid water might have occurred. Costard et al. (p. 110) developed a global climate model for Mars when it had a higher obliquity (about 300,000 years ago). Their model shows that more melting of the ...

the effects of cognitive strategies- note making and underlining- on iranian efl learners’ reading comprehension

هدف از انجام این مطالعه ، بررسی اثرات استفاده از استراتژی های شناختی یعنی "نت برداری" و "زیر خط کردن" بر روی عملکرد درک مطلب زبان آموزان ایرانی می باشد. به این منظور، 60 زبان آموز دختر سال چهارم دبیرستان از طریق آزمون پیشرفت زبان انگلیسی (نلسون)، از یک جامعه آماری بزرگتر انتخاب شدند. سپس به صورت تصادفی به سه گروه که هر گروه شامل ?0 دانش آموز همسان بود، تقسیم شدند: دو گروه آزمایش(گروه "نت برداری...

Microbial Ecology of Mid-Ocean Ridges and Back-Arc Basins

Over the past two decades, microbiologists have gained significant insights into the diversity and physiology of microbial communities associated with deep-sea hydrothermal systems. Much of the initial research focused on mid-ocean ridge (MOR) systems; however, because of the greater heterogeneity of vent fluid chemistry and sulfide structures from back-arc basin (BAB) systems, recent studies h...
