چکیده
The following report, by Peter J. Wyllie, Department of Geochemistry and Mineral ogy, Pennsylvania State University, is based on a paper "presented by the author at the Second Western National Meeting of the American Geophysical Union, held at Stan ford University, December 1962. A similar, 'more-detailed version of this paper has been published in the Journal of Geophys ical Research, August 1, 1963. The version presented below includes an enlarged dis cussion of possible applications to the oro genic cycle; essentially the same version has also been issued as Pennsylvania State University Mineral Industries Contribution No. 62-91.

Some Evidences on the Relationship of Cyclic Development of Photosynthesis and the Earth’s Crust Processes
Recently published model of the global redox carbon cycle [1] asserts that cycle is a recurring sequence of related processes on the Earth. The sequence is called the orogenic cycle and consists of short-term orogenic and long-term geosynclynal periods. The orogenic period of the cycle is characterized with intense volcanism, magmatism and mountain building. The geosynclynal period is character...
متن کاملRole of supra-subduction zone ophiolites in the tectonic evolution of the southeastern Zagros Orogenic Belt, Iran
Ophiolitic rocks in the southeastern part of the Zagros Orogenic Belt can be separated from southwest to northeast, into two groups: the Neyriz ophiolites and the Naien–Shahrebabak–Baft ophiolites. The southeast sector of Sanandaj-Sirjan wasdelimited by the two nearly synchronous ophiolitic belts in its southwestern and northeastern margins. In this study, new ophiolitic formation models were u...
متن کاملPressure induced elastic softening in framework aluminosilicate- albite (NaAlSi3O8)
Albite (NaAlSi3O8) is an aluminosilicate mineral. Its crystal structure consists of 3-D framework of Al and Si tetrahedral units. We have used Density Functional Theory to investigate the high-pressure behavior of the crystal structure and how it affects the elasticity of albite. Our results indicate elastic softening between 6-8 GPa. This is observed in all the individual elastic stiffness com...
متن کاملModeling of the beam discontinuity with two analyses in strong and weak forms using a torsional spring model
In this paper, a discontinuity in beams whose intensity is adjusted by the spring stiffness factor is modeled using a torsional spring. Adapting two analyses in strong and weak forms for discontinuous beams, the improved governing differential equations and the modified stiffness matrix are derived respectively. In the strong form, two different solution methods have been presented to make an a...
