Linking mantle upwelling with the lithosphere decent and the Japan Sea evolution: a hypothesis
Recent seismic tomography studies image a low velocity zone (interpreted as a high temperature anomaly) in the mantle beneath the subducting Pacific plate near the Japanese islands at the depth of about 400 km. This thermal feature is rather peculiar in terms of the conventional view of mantle convection and subduction zones. Here we present a dynamic restoration of the thermal state of the man...
متن کاملThe Pannonian basin: Dynamic modelling of the transition from passive to active rifting
We examine a number of first order features of Pannonian basin evolution in terms of the feedback relation between passive far-field induced extension and active Raleigh-Taylor instable upwelling of the asthenosphere. We show that active mantle upwelling following a phase of passive extension are viable mechanisms explaining the Pannonian basin formation. The dynamic interplay between far-field...
متن کاملThermal evolution of Venus with argon degassing
Decades-old measurements of atmospheric and elemental surface composition constrain the history of Venus. In this study, we search for a model featuring continuous evolution in the stagnant-lid regime that predicts the present-day atmospheric mass of radiogenic argon and satisfies the other available constraints. For comparison, we also consider the end-member scenario of a single catastrophic ...
متن کاملDeep structure and origin of the Baikal rift zone
P-wave velocity images are determined under the Baikal rift zone in Siberia by using teleseismic tomography. Our results show prominent low-velocity anomalies in the upper mantle under the Baikal rift zone and high-velocity anomalies in the lithosphere under the Siberian craton. The low-velocity anomalies are interpreted as a mantle upwelling (plume) which has played an important role in the in...
متن کاملLithosphere-Asthenosphere and Volcanism in the Tyrrhenian Sea and surroundings - Struttura
Since the beginning of the 1980s seismic tomography studies have helped to unravel the deep structure and to constrain the kinematic models of tectonic evolution of Italy. In this chapter I describe the main features of the upper mantle structure beneath the Tyrrhenian – Apennine system obtained by jointly analysing the tomographic results with the distribution of subcrustal earthquakes. A new ...
