Evolution of oceanic upper mantle structure
Love and Rayleigh wave phase velocities increase systematically with increasing age of oceanic lithosphere up to 150 Ma. The rates of increase differ between oceans and vary for different age intervals. Modeling of lithospheric age–phase velocity relations indicates that the high velocity seismic lid thickens and the velocities in the sub-lithospheric low velocity Ž . zone LVZ increase with age...
متن کاملMantle reflectivity structure beneath oceanic hotspots
S U M M A R Y This study applies high-resolution Radon transform to a large set of SS precursors and explores the mantle reflectivity structure beneath 17 potentially ‘deep-rooted’ hotspots. The combined reduced time (τ ) and ray parameter (p) information effectively constrains the depth, spatial distribution and sharpness of upper-/mid-mantle reflectors. The olivine to wadsleyite phase boundar...

متن کاملInfluences of Lower-Mantle Properties on the Formation of Asthenosphere in Oceanic Upper Mantle
Asthenosphere is a venerable concept based on geological intuition of Reginald Daly nearly 100 years ago. There have been various explanations for the existence of the asthenosphere. The concept of a plume-fed asthenosphere has been around for a few years due to the ideas put forth by Yamamoto et al.. Using a two-dimensional Cartesian code based on finite-volume method, we have investigated the...
متن کاملUpper mantle structure of the Saharan Metacraton
The 500,000 km Saharan Metacraton in northern Africa (metacraton refers to a craton that has been mobilized during an orogenic event but that is still recognisable through its rheological, geochronological and isotopic characteristics) is an Archean–Paleoproterozoic cratonic lithosphere that has been destabilized during the Neoproterozoic. It extends from the Arabian–Nubian Shield in the east t...
