Slab dehydration in the Earth's mantle transition zone
Because of the high water solubility in wadsleyite and ringwoodite, the mantle transition zone is possibly a large water reservoir. The potentially high water content of the Earth's mantle transition zone is a key element of several global mantle dynamic models. Nevertheless, to keep the transition zone relatively wet, the tendency for convection to distribute water over the entire mantle has t...
متن کاملGradual and abrupt changes during the Mid-Pleistocene Transition
During the Mid-Pleistocene Transition (MPT), the dominant glacial-interglacial cyclicity as inferred from the marine d18O records of benthic foraminifera (dObenthic) changed from 41 kyr to 100 kyr years in the absence of a comparable change in orbital forcing. Currently, only two Mg/Ca-derived, high-resolution bottom water temperature (BWT) records exist that can be used with dObenthic records ...
متن کاملAbrupt tectonics and rapid slab detachment with grain damage.
A simple model for necking and detachment of subducting slabs is developed to include the coupling between grain-sensitive rheology and grain-size evolution with damage. Necking is triggered by thickened buoyant crust entrained into a subduction zone, in which case grain damage accelerates necking and allows for relatively rapid slab detachment, i.e., within 1 My, depending on the size of the c...
متن کاملDepletion of resting zone chondrocytes during growth plate senescence.
With age, the growth plate undergoes senescent changes that cause linear bone growth to slow and finally cease. Based on previous indirect evidence, we hypothesized that this senescent decline occurs because growth plate stem-like cells, located in the resting zone, have a finite proliferative capacity that is gradually depleted. Consistent with this hypothesis, we found that the proliferation ...
متن کاملModes of Slab Behavior: from the Transition Zone to the Mid-lower Mantle
Subducting slabs may exhibit buckling instabilities and consequent folding behavior in the mantle transition zone, accompanied by temporal variations in dip angle, plate velocity, and trench retreat. Governing parameters include both viscous (rheological) and buoyancy (thermopetrological) forces. Numerical experiments suggest that many parameter sets lead to slab deflection at the base of the t...
