Love wave dispersion indicates that the thickness of the solid crust in the oceanic regions surrounding Antarctica varies from about 5 km to 10 km, the smaller values being associated with the deeper basins. It

Adakites have been initially defined as partial melts of young subducted oceanic crust under P-T conditions where garnet is stable and plagioclase is not17,18, a view subsequently widely supported1,19–22. However, alternative explanations2–4 have proposed that adakite-like rocks can be produced...
The mean thickness of oceanic crust is 5 km whereas that of the continental is around 30 km. The continental crust is thicker in the areas of major mountain systems. It is as much as 70 km thick in the Himalayan region.
, 1991). We may consider that, on a global scale, the crust of continental margins decreases from an average thickness of 41 km to ∼10 km, the thickness of oceanic crust (see Chapter 3.13). If we further assume that the age distribution of continental margins is identical to that of...
thickness of igneous crust in the region (Fig. 3.29). Four crustal transects (seeFig. 3.24for location) along and across the BOB prepared from the 3D gravity interpretation (Radhakrishna et al., 2010) reveal the presence of a thin crust below the Bengal Fan and thicker than normaloceanic ...
The surface of the earth can be divided into the continental crust and the oceanic crust. The continental crust is made mostly of granite while the oceanic crust is made of basalt. The average thickness of the continental crust is 25 miles and the average thickness of the oceanic crust is ...

GlobSed is used together with a new map of lithospheric ages developed for this study to analyze how sediment thickness changes with respect to the age of the underlying oceanic crust and latitude. The results show a clear age-latitude dependence where sediment thickness increases with age of ...
