We present a new model, EUNA‐rho, for the density structure of the continental and oceanic upper mantle based on 3‐D tesseroid gravity modeling. On continent, there is no clear difference in lithospheric mantle (LM) density between the cratonic and Phanerozoic Europe, yet an ~300‐km‐...

These two gravimetric results are obtained based on solving the Vening Meinesz-Moritz's inverse problem of isostasy. The uniform model of the Moho density contrast is defined individually for the continental and oceanic lithosphere to better reproduce the reality. The global data of the lower crust...
How dense is the continental crust? Which atmospheric level is farthest from the lithosphere? How dense is the oceanic crust? Where do the hydrosphere and lithosphere meet? What is glacial geomorphology? What are the layers of the Earth's ecosphere?
Were the Deccan Flood Basalts Derived in Part from Ancient Oceanic Crust Within the Indian Continental Lithosphere? Deep mantle plumes supposedly incorporate deeply subducted eclogitized oceanic crust, and continental flood basalts (CFBs) are now thought by some to be de... HC Sheth - 《Gondwana...

The calculations performed have indicated that the observed dependence of the FMS depth on the crustal thickness is caused mostly by lateral inhomogeneities in the lithospheric mantle, and the size of these inhomogeneities is proportional to the thickness of the crust. The origin of such ...
The low density may have been caused as a result of serpentinization or fractionation of magma by a process related in some way to the Deccan volcanic event. Substantial depletion of both oceanic and continental lithosphere is indicated. We hypothesize that the present anatomy of the deformed ...
