A comparison of oceanic and continental mantle lithosphere
Over the last decade, seismological studies have shed new light on the properties of the
mantle lithosphere and their physical and chemical origins. This paper synthesizes recent …

The nature of the lithosphere‐asthenosphere boundary
Plate tectonic theory was developed 50 years ago and underpins most of our understanding
of Earth's evolution. The theory explains observations of magnetic lineations on the seafloor …

A dynamic lithosphere–asthenosphere boundary near the equatorial Mid-Atlantic Ridge
In plate tectonic theory a weak asthenosphere is required to facilitate the motions of the rigid
plates. Partial melt could weaken the mantle, in turn impacting convection, but to date the …

A lithosphere‐asthenosphere boundary and partial melt estimated using marine magnetotelluric data at the central Middle Atlantic Ridge
The differential motion between the lithosphere and the asthenosphere is aseismic, so the
magnetotelluric (MT) method plays an important role in studying the depth and nature of the …

Evolution of the oceanic lithosphere in the equatorial Atlantic from Rayleigh wave tomography, evidence for small‐scale convection from the PI‐LAB experiment
The oceanic lithosphere is a primary component of the plate tectonic system, yet its evolution
and its asthenospheric interaction have rarely been quantified by in situ imaging at slow …
