Lower than average speeds suggest hotter temperatures and weaker rocks, while higher than average speeds suggest cold, stronger parts of the mantle. If the mantle rock is hotter, its density will be ...

The Earth has a layered structure made up of the core, the mantle and the crust. Different elements are present in different parts of the Earth’s structure. The crust is made from enormous ...

This configuration may be either a single unit; a mantle with an integral controller, or it may be comprised of two separate parts, sold together. Mantle only devices are just the actual container for ...

Slab pull occurs where older, denser tectonic plates sink into the mantle at subduction zones. As these older sections of plates sink, newer and less dense sections of plate are pulled along behind.

The rest of the lower mantle is dominated by degree 3. We find significant heterogeneity up to spherical harmonic degree 24 in the transition zone and the uppermost part of the lower mantle. Our model ...

The only exception has been where the mantle is exposed by faulting, where a crack forms in the Earth's crust. I was part of an international team which retrieved a record-breaking 1,268m-long ...

Tectonic reconstruction based on geological field studies has become a necessary and integral part of our coupled crust-mantle dynamics research. Ultimately, by coupling larger-scale mantle processes ...

The differences in the mid- to lowermost mantle are primarily restricted to features in the Southern Hemisphere. We compare the isotropic part of S362ANI+M with other recent global tomographic models ...
