Young Marquesas volcanism finally located

Ancient lithosphere: its role in young continental volcanism.

Only Finally ∗

Focus particles interact with the focused constituent in a sentence. The particle only presents a challenge to formalizing this relationship as while it commonly precedes the focused constituent, only can also follow it. A syntactic account of these constructions is presented that captures the unique properties of only’s distribution within the framework presented in Kayne (1998) and offers sup...

FireWire Finally Comes Home

117 Standards I n February 1997, I wrote a Computer column titled " Linking Computers and Consumer Electronics, " which described the IEEE 1394 networking standard, otherwise known as FireWire. FireWire was designed to link personal computers, digital cameras , televisions, DVD players, printers, and other home electronics equipment. In one sense, FireWire represented the technology behind all ...

Volcanism on Mars

Amazonian The youngest of the geologic epochs on Mars identified through geoiogic mapping of superposition relations, and the area! density of impact craters. caldera An irregular collapse feature formed over the evacuated magma chamber within a volcano. central volcano Emplacement of volcanic materials from a centralized source vent rather than along a distributed line of vents, composite volc...

Evidence for young volcanism on Mercury from the third MESSENGER flyby.

During its first two flybys of Mercury, the MESSENGER spacecraft acquired images confirming that pervasive volcanism occurred early in the planet's history. MESSENGER's third Mercury flyby revealed a 290-kilometer-diameter peak-ring impact basin, among the youngest basins yet seen, having an inner floor filled with spectrally distinct smooth plains. These plains are sparsely cratered, postdate ...
