I attribute the Cretaceous pulse of Pacific oceanic crust formation to a global plate reorganization associated with the breakup of Pangea and rapid growth and reorganization …
Using fluid mechanics, we reinterpret the mantle images obtained from global and regional tomography together with geochemical, geological and paleomagnetic observations, and …
RJH Loosveld, MA Etheridge - Journal of metamorphic …, 1990 - Wiley Online Library
Low‐pressure metamorphic facies (ie high T/P ratios) are widespread in a wide range of tectonic settings. Explanations offered for the occurrence of these facies include extensional …
The question of plate boundary forces and deep versus shallow asthenospheric uplift has long been debated in intracontinental rift areas, particularly in the Baikal rift zone, Asia …
