Additionally, a trench-parallel mantle flow in the outer-rise asthenosphere—likely compressed by slab rollback—challenges conventional models of subduction-driven circulation. The Tonga ...
Discover the science behind Hawaii's gradual shift towards Japan, why it's happening, and how fast these changes are taking place.
Tectonic plates are large sections of Earth’s crust that float on the slowly flowing asthenosphere beneath them. Their ...
We propose to reconcile these apparently antinomic observations with a mechanical model of the lithosphere that takes into account the geometry of the lithosphere–asthenosphere boundary, assuming that ...
