Origin and Evolution of Long Lobate Lava Flows on Syria Planum, Mars
Introduction: On Mars, long lava flows have been described as the first volcanic stage at the formation of a plains-style volcanic region (e.g. [1]). They have been identified and described on the eastern flanks of the Tharsis Montes (e.g.[2 4]), as well as on Tempe Terra [5] and Syria Planum [6]. This type of volcanism have been described as a consequence of magmatism near larger magmatic prov...
متن کاملDistinctive upper mantle anisotropy beneath the High Lava Plains and Eastern Snake River Plain, Pacific Northwest, USA
[1] The Pacific Northwest (PNW) has experienced voluminous intraplate volcanism over the past 17 Ma, beginning with the Steens/Columbia River flood basalts and continuing with the stillongoing volcanism in the High Lava Plains (HLP) and eastern Snake River Plain (SRP). Here we present two complementary datasets (SKS splitting and Rayleigh wave phase velocity anisotropy) that place constraints o...
متن کاملNeogene Fallout Tuffs from the Yellowstone Hotspot in the Columbia Plateau Region, Oregon, Washington and Idaho, USA
Sedimentary sequences in the Columbia Plateau region of the Pacific Northwest ranging in age from 16-4 Ma contain fallout tuffs whose origins lie in volcanic centers of the Yellowstone hotspot in northwestern Nevada, eastern Oregon and the Snake River Plain in Idaho. Silicic volcanism began in the region contemporaneously with early eruptions of the Columbia River Basalt Group (CRBG), and the a...
متن کاملLivestock Farming Systems and Cattle Production Orientation in Eastern High Plains of Algeria, Cattle Farming System in Algerian Semi-Arid Region
This study was an attempt to devise productive orientations of cattle herds in eastern high plains of Algeria. In this regard, 165 farms randomly identified were investigated. The selection of breeders was based to existence of cattle on the farm, and the farmer proposed to investigation must have at least two cows. The approach taken was to identify all systems adopted by farmers in a region t...
