Artist impressions of two types of lithospheric drip, supported by surface views of the experimental simulation of the processes. One produces thickening and uplift of Earth’s crust, while the ...

The magnetized rocks of Earth's crust and mantle, also known as the upper lithosphere, accounts for generating 6 percent of the planets magnetic field. Data from the European Space Agency's Swarm ...

These results support the idea that transient variations in lithospheric rigidity can interact with internal stresses to produce vertical motions. Though more research is needed, the researchers ...

Lithospheric foundering is the process of the denser materials being pulled to the bottom, while the less dense material emerges at the top, resulting in land creation.

A 2,000-kilometre-long volcanic hotspot track is identified in eastern Australia, along which magma composition and volcanic outcrop show a strong correlation with lithospheric thickness ...

We develop a predictive model which has the ability to explain a postulated style of episodic plate tectonics on Venus, through the periodic occurrence of lithospheric subduction events. Present-day ...

Lithospheric (or tectonic) plates float on this lower mantle, and its magmatic convection currents can pull the plates apart to form oceans; rub them against one another to trigger earthquakes ...
