in the temperate lattitudes, particularly in areas beyond the reach of the erosive activities of …

The growing interest in quantification of vertical ground motion stems from the need to
understand in detail how the Earth's crust behaves, for both scientific and social reasons …

Many mantle plumes started with voluminous heads of hot material that ascended as diapirs
through the mantle. Flood basalts, radial dike swarms, and frequently continental breakup …
