The type of lithosphere subducted between India and Tibet since the Paleocene remains controversial; it has been suggested to be either entirely continental, oceanic, or a mixture of the two. As the subduction history of this lost lithosphere strongly sh
One of the most fundamental insights for understanding how landscapes evolve is based on determining the extent to which topography was shaped by glaciers or by rivers. More than 104 years after the last major glaciation the topography of mountain ranges
They suggested that the recharge source was glacial water of the Quaternary Period, located above the altitude of 1 800 m in Qinling Mountains. They further explored the hydraulic connection among all the major aquifers in the area and found that the deep fractured zone on the basin edge is ...
A "pluriversal" world embraces knowledge from all sources and cultures, and harnesses them to build a more humane community with a shared future. Such a world is the antithesis of the idea of unipolarity, espoused and practiced by the major powers of the Global North. ...
The tectonic framework of the Ordos Basin was formed mainly in the Mesozoic (Zhao et al., 2012). During that time, the basin was affected by the three major tectonic domains of the Paleo-Tethys Ocean, the Pacific Rim, and the Paleo-Asian Ocean. Intense tectonic activities around the basin...
Jiaodong, China 1. Introduction Understanding temporal relationships within metallogenic epochs has been a key issue of interest to economic geologists during the past few decades. Determination of the duration of ore-forming events is of major importance for a thorough understanding of the genesis of...
Frictional metamorphism, argon depletion, and tectonic stress on the Alpine Fault, New Zealand The Alpine fault of New Zealand is a major continental transform fault which has been uplifted on its southeast side 4–11 km within the last 5 m.y. This u... CH Scholz,J Beavan,TC Hanks - ...
Some of these fissures may be hidden under the surface, while others may become visible on the surface1,2,3. Surface cracks open slowly over time; however, fissures tend to open markedly faster after major rainfall due to soil erosion outside and within the cracks. Earth fissures can be ...
Impact ejecta are important references to establish regional and global stratigraphy of planetary bodies. Canonical views advocate radial distributions of distal ejecta with respect to the source crater, and their trajectories are significantly deflected
