The concentration and distribution of water in the Earth has influenced its evolution
throughout its history. Even at the trace levels contained in the planet's deep interior (mantle …

It is widely accepted that the lithosphere beneath the eastern portion of the North China
Craton (NCC) has suffered extensive thinning and destruction since the Mesozoic. The …

During the subhorizontal (flat) subduction of an ocean–lithosphere plate, the overlying
continental plate is deformed far inland of the plate boundary. In addition, arc magmatism …

Continents, especially their Archean cores, are underlain by thick thermal boundary layers
that have been largely isolated from the convecting mantle over billion-year timescales, far …

The minerals constituting the Earth's upper mantle are nominally anhydrous silicates
(NAMs). However they do contain hydrogen as a trace element, decorating point defects in …

The Colorado plateau is a large, tectonically intact, physiographic province in the
southwestern North American Cordillera that stands at∼ 1,800–2,000 m elevation and has …

Presenting a coherent synthesis of lithosphere studies, this book covers a range of
geophysical methods (seismic reflection, refraction, and receiver function methods; elastic …

The Cenozoic landscape evolution in southwestern North America is ascribed to crustal
isostasy, dynamic topography, or lithosphere tectonics, but their relative contributions remain …
