Continental crust beneath southeast Iceland.
The magmatic activity (0-16 Ma) in Iceland is linked to a deep mantle plume that has been active for the past 62 My. Icelandic and northeast Atlantic basalts contain variable proportions of two enriched components, interpreted as recycled oceanic crust supplied by the plume, and subcontinental lithospheric mantle derived from the nearby continental margins. A restricted area in southeast Icelan...
متن کاملFluid-driven metamorphism of the continental crust governed by nanoscale fluid flow
The transport of fluids through the Earth's crust controls the redistribution of elements to form mineral and hydrocarbon deposits, the release and sequestration of greenhouse gases, and facilitates metamorphic reactions that influence lithospheric rheology. In permeable systems with a well-connected porosity, fluid transport is largely driven by fluid pressure gradients. In less permeable rock...
متن کاملDownward causation in fluid convection
Recent developments in nonlinear dynamics have found wide application in many areas of science from physics to neuroscience. Nonlinear phenomena such as feedback loops, inter-level relations, wholes constraining and modifying the behavior of their parts, and memory effects are interesting candidates for emergence and downward causation. Rayleigh-Bénard convection is an example of a nonlinear sy...
متن کاملIdiopathic localized dilatation of the ileum.
A 72-year-old man was noted to have an abdominal mass during a health check-up. Computed tomography showed a large cyst-like structure in the right subhepatic space (white arrowheads) that had continuity with the proximal and distal ileal loops. The wall of the structure showed the same enhancement pattern as the adjacent ileal loops, which suggested that the lesion was a part of the ileum (Pic...
