Image from a global simulation of Earth's mantle convection enabled by the NSF-funded Stampede supercomputer. The Frontera system will allow researchers to incorporate more observations into ...

These results have important implications for our understanding of the nature of mantle convection, degree of partial melting and extent of magma mixing. Sophisticated geophysical models suggest ...

conclusions from numerical modeling, and results from laboratory experiments; many of these are taken from the primary literature. Some chapters are rather descriptive and others quite technical. I ...

Cratons are fascinating yet enigmatic geological formations. Known to be relatively stable portions of the Earth's ...

Whether convection in the Earth's mantle ... and so is quantitative testing of conceptual models. Direct numerical simulation of thermochemical mantle processes couples melting-induced ...

Now, for the first time in book form, a unified theory is presented for three topics - thermal convection, inertial waves and precession-driven flow - to demonstrate that these seemingly complicated, ...

We apply these models to a range of problems, including faulting, mantle convection, and melting and melt migration in the Earth’s mantle, as well as to societally-relevant issues, such as the dynamic ...

Introduction to Modeling Convection in Planets and Stars: Magnetic Field, Density Stratification, Rotation Gary A. Glatzmaier This book provides readers with the skills they need to write computer ...

How plate tectonics works The driving force behind plate tectonics is convection in the mantle. Hot material near Earth's core rises, and colder mantle rock sinks. "It's kind of like a pot boiling ...

特斯拉Model Y定位于为中型SUV，同时也是特斯拉的第五款量产车型，其基于Model 3平台开发而来，因此设计风格上与Model 3十分相似。尽管外观很相似，但是车身尺寸方面，Model Y确实要比Model 3要实在很多，Model Y比Model 3长了56mm、宽了71mm、高了181mm、轴距长了15mm ...
