متن کاملCrustal structure and rift flank uplift of the Adare Trough, Antarctica
[1] The Adare Trough, located 100 km northeast of Cape Adare, Antarctica, represents the extinct third arm of a Tertiary spreading ridge between East and West Antarctica. It is characterized by pronounced asymmetric rift flanks elevated up to over 2 km above the trough’s basement, accompanied by a large positive mantle Bouguer anomaly. On the basis of recently acquired seismic reflection and sh...
متن کاملThe Thaumasia “rift”, Mars – Is It a Rift?
We describe the morphology of a large and complex graben structure in the western Thauma-sia region (the " Thaumasia graben " [1] or TG). We consider possible fault geometries, determine extension , and discuss shortly possible models for its origin. Background: Situated at the western border of the Thaumasia plateau, the TG is one of the most prominent fault-bounded structures on Mars. It is ~...
متن کاملEvidence for on-going inflation of the Socorro magma body, New Mexico, from Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar imaging
Interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) imaging of the central Rio Grande rift (New Mexico, USA) during 1992-1999 reveals a crustal uplift of several centimeters that spatially coincides with the seismologically determined outline of the Socorro magma body, one of the largest currently active magma intrusions in the Earth’s continental crust. Modeling of interferograms shows that the o...
متن کاملContinental rift
The azure-winged magpie (Cyanopica cyanus), has long presented a puzzle for biologists. The naturalist Alfred Wallace was one of the first to consider it. The puzzle lies in its extraordinary distribution. It exists in two distinct locations: Iberia and eastern Asia, 9,000 kilometres apart. Two alternative theories have been put forward to explain this curious distribution. The first proposes t...
