"This process involves the rapid sinking or detachment of the lower continental lithosphere into the mantle, driven by the increased density of eclogites that formed at the base of the mountain roots.

Abstract: Laboratory experiments with rock samples show that transient creep, at which strain grows with time and strain rate decrease at constant stress, occurs while creep strains are sufficiently ...

Abstract: Previous studies of the wander of the rotation pole associated with the Late Pleistocene glacial cycles indicate that the predicted polar wander speed is sensitive to the density jump at the ...
