oceanic lithosphere after the initial India-Asia continental collision, the presence of the thick crust and high elevation on the southern margin of the Lhasa Terrane, and the decoupling between the mid-upper and lower crust and between the lower crust and lithospheric mantle of the Indian ...
The types of geologic activity that occur when two plates interact is dependent on the nature of the plate interaction and of the margins. Plate margins come in three varieties: oceanic-oceanic, continental-continental, and continental-oceanic. ...
Based on the main driving force of plate motion (the slab pull force generated by the descent of the oceanic plate in subduction zones) and the three primary mechanisms for magma generation (adding fluid, increasing temperature, and decreasing pressure), the continent-continent collisional process ...

It is suggested that the later Acadian (Middle Devonian) orogeny may have been the result of convergence of oceanic trenches, leading to formation of transform faults. If correct, continental collision took place locally but was not the fundamental cause of the orogeny. This accounts for facies ...

Islands may be classified as either continental or oceanic. Oceanic islands are those that rise to the surface from the floors of the ocean basins. Continental islands are simply unsubmerged parts of the continental shelf that are entirely surrounded by water. Many of the larger islands of the ...
The greatest present-day diversity is seen in continental tropical regions, although members of the class Mammalia live on (or in seasadjacentto) all major landmasses. Mammals can also be found on many oceanicislands, which are principally, but by no means exclusively, inhabited bybats. Major ...
Fluid-flow and mass transfer not only play an important role in continental metamorphic core complexes [1,2] and oceanic core complexes [3], but also in hyperextended margins [4,5,6]. While, in metamorphic core complexes, meteoric water interacts with continental crustal rocks, leading to sa...
After this introduction, datasets, the data decomposition method, orthogonal convergence theory and models are given in Section 2. As an example, the binary interaction of two cyclones is described in Section 3. Anomaly-based variable models and a forecast time-length bottleneck are simulated in ...
