Why do continents break-up parallel to ancient orogenic belts?
The frequently observed parallelism between rifts and the pre existing orogenic fabric of continents suggests that the inherited tectonic fabric of the lithosphere influences the rupture of continents. We propose that the existence of a pervasive fabric in the lithospheric mantle induces an anisotropie strength in the lithosphere, that guides the propagation of continental rifts. Subcrustal ma...
متن کاملRayleigh-Taylor instability, lithospheric dynamics, surface topography at convergent mountain belts, and gravity anomalies
[1] Surface topography and associated gravity anomalies above a layer resembling continental lithosphere, whose mantle part is gravitationally unstable, depend strongly on the ratio of viscosities of the lower-density crustal part to that of the mantle part. For linear stability analysis, growth rates of Rayleigh-Taylor instabilities depend largely on the wave number, or wavelength, of the pert...
متن کاملSynthesis of skeletal diamonds: Implications for microdiamond formation in orogenic belts
Figure 1. Secondary-electron scanning electron microscope images showing morphologies of (A) natural and (B, D, and E) synthetic diamonds. C: Energy-dispersive X-ray spectrum for diamond in B. Natural diamonds are separates from felsic gneiss of Kokchetav massif, Kazakhstan. Synthetic diamonds are crystallized from graphite 1 Mg(OH)2 systems and exhibit irregular skeletal morphology similar to ...
متن کاملGlobal Anomalies in Canonical Gravity
In this note we study the structure of diffeomorphism anomalies in 3 + 1 canonical gravity coupled to a chiral massless fermion. We find that when the spatial manifold Σ is S3 or a Lens space L(p, q) , the first homotopy group of the related diffeomorphism group can be nontrivial and hence the question of global anomalies becomes relevant. Here we show that for gravity coupled to SU(2) chiral f...
متن کاملAnomalies and gravity
Anomalies can be viewed as a breaking of some Noether symmetry through the effects of the vacuum. In relativistic quantum field theory (QFT), such a (classical) symmetry is broken by field quantization, cf. Refs [20, 7, 51] for recent reviews. This has important implications on such physical processes as the decay of the neutral π-meson [6], induced instanton effects [43], or underlies the post...
