Dynamic Earth: crustal and mantle heterogeneity*
The dynamic processes within the Earth leave their record in geophysical and geochemical variation about the general stratification with depth. A snapshot of current structure is provided by geophysical evidence, whereas geochemical information provides a perspective over the age of the Earth. The combination of information on the distribution of heterogeneity from geophysical and geochemical s...
متن کاملNeoproterozoic crustal growth: The solid Earth system during a critical episode of Earth history
The behavior of the solid Earth system is often overlooked when the causes of major Neoproteozoic (1000–542 Ma) climate and biosphere events are discussed although ∼20% of the present continental crust formed or was remobilized during this time. Processes responsible for forming and deforming the continental crust during Neoproterozoic time were similar to those of the modern Earth and took pla...
متن کاملDynamics of Earth Climate Evolution
In recent years many attempts have been made in order to investigate the Earth’s global climate evolution. On the basis of the observations, made with the help of the δO content’s isotope analysis in a deep-sea core [1, 2] it has been established that during the last million of years sequence of ice-ages took place on the Earth, lasting nearly 100000 years each. Therefore, during last million y...
متن کاملMobilizing aluminum in crustal and mantle fluids
Aluminum is a major rock-forming element, but its low solubility in H2O at upper crustal conditions has led to the assumption that it is effectively immobile during fluid–rock interaction in the deep crust and upper mantle. However, new experimental results on Al solubility in H2O–SiO2–NaCl fluids at high pressure and temperature challenge this view. The combined effects of temperature, pressur...
متن کاملCrustal Structure of the Earth
The boundary between the crust and the mantle was discovered by Mohorovicic in 1909 under the European continent. Subsquent research in this century established the major differences between the continental and oceanic crust; a typical thickness for the continental crust is 30-50 km while a typical thickness for me oceanic crusts is 6 km. In terms of history the continental crust contains a muc...
