Abstract Suprasubduction zone (SSZ) ophiolites of the northern Appalachians (eastern North America) have provided key constraints on fundamental tectonic processes responsible for evolution Appalachian orogen. The central and southern Appalachians, which extend from New York to Alabama (USA), also contain numerous ultramafic-mafic bodies that been interpreted as ophiolite fragments; however, th...

As relics of oceanic lithosphere, ophiolites exposed in the East Kunlun region are crucial for deciphering evolution from Proto-Tethys to Paleo-Tethys. Two ophiolite belts have been recognized Orogenic Belt: northern Heishan-Dagele-Qingshuiquan Ophiolite Belt and southern Muzitag-A’nyemaqen Belt. Most basaltic rocks belt show apparent geochemical features enriched mid-ocean ridge basalts, with ...

We studied the effect of two social settings (collaborative versus competitive) on the visual and auditory expressions of uncertainty by children in two age groups (8 and 11). We conducted an experiment in which children played a quiz game in pairs. They either had to collaborate or compete with each other. We found that the Feeling-of-Knowing of eight-year-old children did not seem to be affec...

The Kermanshah ophiolite complex is a part of the Mediterranean–Zagros–Oman Tethyan ophiolites, located in the structural–tectonic zone of western Iran in the northern part of the Zagros main thrust. Doleritic sheeted dykes are well exposed within the ophiolite in the south of Sahneh. These dykes contain high MgO, Na2O, low TiO2 (2O5, and K2O contents, and high FeOt/MgO and LILE/HFSE ratios. Th...

Abstract The phenomena of reactive percolation enriched asthenospheric melts and pervasive melt-rock interactions at mid oceanic ridge-rift systems are the principal proponents for mantle refertilization compositional heterogeneity. This study presents new mineralogical geochemical data abyssal peridotites exposed along Vema Vityaz fracture zones Central Indian Ridge (CIR) to address factors co...

The interactions between two opposing teams lead to the emergence of unique game patterns. In volleyball, attack efficacy emerges as the strongest predictor of the final result and thus it becomes of foremost importance to understand which game patterns afford the attaining of higher attack efficacies. These rely on the quality of the setting action. In turn, the serve and the serve reception c...
