克拉通是指古老的、稳定的大陆块体，它主要由古代的结晶基底构成，形成的年代大多是在30多亿年前。其特点是具有较冷的地温梯度、贫铁贫水且存在多种交代变质作用。全球的克拉通在60-160 ...

That's about as fast as your fingernails grow! Because Earth is spherical, its tectonic or lithospheric plates are fractured into dozens of curved sections. (Imagine it like a cracked egg shell.) ...

The research reveals that, beneath the basin, the Earth’s crust is gradually seeping deeper into the Earth’s interior in a newly-discovered process known as lithospheric dripping. Scientists ...

Earth's crust may "drip" into its middle layer under growing mountain ranges. This odd process, called lithospheric dripping, has been proposed to occur under the Andes, in Central Asia ...

Cratons are believed to be the longest-lived regions of the Earth, but a new study shows how dynamic processes can cause their eventual disintegration.

My research interests are in the areas of earthquake hazard, earthquake source mechanisms, earthquake forecasting, wave propagation studies and determination of lithospheric structure. Since 1981 I ...

In her work she explored the interaction between the lithospheric crust and mantle, deformational driving forces within continental lithosphere, and the causes for the development of large plateaus.

This is the most simple feature of plate tectonics and how the Earth's lithospheric plates move and interact with each other. Plate tectonics reshape Earth's surface on geological time scales.

From time to time, when Earth's tectonic plates shift, the planet emits a long, slow belch of carbon dioxide. In a new modeling study published in Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, R. Dietmar ...
