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 …

Continental mid‐lithosphere discontinuity: A water collector during craton evolution
Continental mid‐lithosphere discontinuity (MLD) seems to be ubiquitous beneath cratons
around the world with the dominant depth of 70–100 km, and is characterized by a shear …

Active crustal differentiation beneath the Rio Grande Rift
Silicon-rich continental crust is unique to Earth. Partial melting during high-to ultrahigh-
temperature metamorphism (700° C to> 900° C) promotes the long-term stability of this crust …

[HTML][HTML] The 'pargasosphere'hypothesis: Looking at global plate tectonics from a new perspective
Apart from the lithosphere-asthenosphere boundary (LAB), mid-lithospheric discontinuities

Assessing the presence of volatile-bearing mineral phases in the cratonic mantle as a possible cause of mid-lithospheric discontinuities
A number of possible hypotheses have been proposed to explain the origin of mid-
lithospheric discontinuities (MLDs), typically characterized by∼ 2-6% reductions in seismic …
