. The boundary between the two zones corresponds roughly to the oceanic Layer 2 to Layer 3 boundaries or the contact between sheeteddikecomplex and gabbro inophiolitecomplexes. This zonation occurs because of (1) the geometry of accretion of oceanic crust, (2) the contrast in temperature ...
Seismological studies have previously detected abundant scatterers in the lower mantle, potentially linked to long-term slab subduction, and petrology studies suggest carbonates can be sequestrated within the oceanic crust and transported into the lower
A hydrologic model for the uppermost oceanic crust constrained by temperature estimates from carbonate minerals. J. Geophys. Res., 118(8): 3917-3930.Anderson, B. W., K. M. Gillis, and L. A. Coogan (2013), A hydrologic model for the uppermost oceanic crust constrained by temperature ...
He knew that at the surface, the temperature is 0º Celsius. But when he was going deeper and deeper into the crust, he noticed that the temperatures were getting higher and higher. Temperatures started getting into the 200º Celsius range. “Boy, is it hot in here”, he said. …...
To elaborate stratospheric ozone depletion processes, measurements of diffusion coefficients of selected gas phase molecules (i.e. HCl, CH3OH, HCOOH and CH3COOH) in ice in the temperature range 170–195 K have been analyzed with respect to the mechanisms and rates of diffusion. It is argued ...
The mineral composition of oceanic crust is a function of pressure and temperature and thus changes as a slab of crust descends a subduction zone. A knowledge of the mineralogy of subducted material would provide important constraints on its geophysical characteristics. We have sought, by means of...
Phase assemblages in natural high-silica systems reported from different locations of fast-spreading oceanic crust could be experimentally reproduced only in a relatively small range of temperature and melt-water content (T ~950 掳C; melt H2O < 1.5 wt%) at redox conditions slightly below the ...
Our data indicate that high-temperature altered oceanic crust, likely a former part of the subduction of the Pacific plate, has been an important component in the source of the Changbaishan-Tianchi volcano. Therefore, the Changbaishan-Tianchi volcano demonstrates that continental intraplate volcanism ...
Lower ocean crust is primarily gabbroic, although 1–2% felsic igneous rocks that are referred to collectively as plagiogranites occur locally. Recent experimental evidence suggests that plagiogranite magmas can form by hydrous partial melting of gabbro triggered by seawater-derived fluids, and thus ...
