Two locations are marked to show this type of plate boundary - the Cascade volcanoes along the Washington-Oregon coast of North America and the Andes mountain range on the western margin of South America. Effects of a convergent boundary between an oceanic and continental plate include: a zone ...
The ocean current system in this region is dominated at depth (>2,000m) by the Deep Western Boundary Current, which flows northward around the Chatham Rise, along the northern margin of the Hikurangi Plateau and northward between the Kermadec Ridge and KermadecTrench, with inflow into the KAHT...
Maxima in the magnitude of T e anisotropy are spatially correlated with the locations of most earthquakes and the locations and directions of maxima in electrical anisotropy and conductivity. The pattern of brittle failure and seismicity is explained as a response to plate boundary forces acting on ...
The upper and lower boundary of Zone NN18 corresponds to 1.93 Ma and 2.39 Ma, respectively8. With this constraint, the predominant positive inclination values between ~470 mbsf and ~560 mbsf (N1) are assigned to a normal polarity zone corresponding to the Subchron C2n (Olduvai), ...
(2016b) explores trans- boundary management implications of water diversions by upstream Chinese and Indian riparian partners on the downstream Bangladeshi regions of Brahmaputra basin. Development of new hydropower projects, upstream water diversions, and possible climate changes have introduced concerns ...
