Oxygen isotope constraints on the sources of Central American arc lavas
[1] Oxygen-isotope ratios of olivine and plagioclase phenocrysts in basalts and basaltic andesites from the Central American arc vary systematically with location, from a minimum dOolivine value of 4.6 (below the range typical of terrestrial basalts) in Nicaragua near the center of the arc to a maximum dOolivine value of 5.7 (above the typical range) in Guatemala near the northwest end of the a...

closed system grossly distorted sound calibration below 1 khz, whereas at frequencies higher than 6 khz calibration for the open loudspeaker was affected. This difficulty could be avoided by placing the loudspeaker close to the bird's ear (12 cm). 2. R. L. Boord and G. L. Rasmussen, J. Comp. Neurol. 120, 463 (1963). 3. For this reason, all data on single-unit thresholds and frequency range in t...
متن کاملPerrierite in siliceous lavas from Mt Amiata, central Italy
PERRIERITE and chevkinite are rare R E E T i silicates reported from granitic and syenitic pegmatites and igneous rocks, volcanic ash beds, ignimbrites, and anorthosite (e.g. Jaffe et al., 1956; Young and Powers, 1960; Mitchell, 1966; Izett and Wilcox, 1968; Raade, 1970; Brooks and Rucklidge, 1976; Segalstad and Larsen, 1978; McDowell, 1979; Harding et al., 1982). The minerals are easily confus...
متن کاملTiming and Rates of Quaternary Normal Faulting in Central Tibet
In Summer 1998, a 400 km long seismic refraction profile (INDEPTH III) was shot in Central Tibet. Apart from recording the signals of 11 shots along the line, the stations also recorded a number of local earthquakes more or less in the extension of the line. Record sections and travel time data from both shots and earthquakes were compiled and interpreted jointly. The following peculiarities ar...
متن کاملPost-Triassic normal faulting and extensional structures in Central Alborz, Northern Iran
This paper presents structural evidence of extensional activity in Central Alborz during Mesozoic. The structural evidence of homogenous early stage stretching such as layer-parallel to oblique boudinage of Permian and Triassic rocks in various portions of the study area accompanied by extensional-fibrous fractures were followed with more advanced extensional features. These extensional structu...
