The lithosphere is broken into many pieces called tectonic or crustal plates, which vary in size and shape. They are in constant contact with each other, fitting together like pieces in a jigsaw puzzle. They float on the semi-molten asthenosphere, and because they are interconnected, no plate...
More sophisticated telescopes on the ground and in space, as well as more powerful computers and new digital imaging sensors (CCD, Nobel Prize in Physics in 2009), opened the possibility in the 1990s to add more pieces to the cosmological puzzle. The teams used a particular kind of supernova...
Martian meteorites are the only samples from the Red Planet available for laboratory analyses. More than 307 pieces of 166 unique samples, originating from at least 11 source craters, are curated in the world’s collections1. Ejection ages, based on cosmic ray exposure (CRE), vary from 0.7 t...
This tuple of components compose the vector that we call the position or coordinate 𝒙𝑖=[𝑥𝑖,1𝑥𝑖,2𝑥𝑖,3]⊤xi=xi,1xi,2xi,3⊤, with the superscript ⊤ denoting the transpose operation, the first subscript referring to the point i and the second to the dimension. ...
This parameter is closely related to the geodynamic setting in which the basin forms and evolves, which controls, among other processes, the original lithosphere thickness, the extensional forces, the magmatic activity, and the circulation of deep fluids (Tissot et al., 1987; Allen and Allen, ...

Rondônia intrusive suites represent the youngest A-type magmatism that occurred in the SW of the Amazon craton, with mineralizations in Sn, Nb, Ta, W, and topaz. Petrological and isotopic studies (U-Pb and Lu-Hf by LA-ICP-MS) allowed the Massangana granite to be subdivided into São...
