Wavefront healing renders deep plumes seismically invisible
S U M M A R Y Since W. J. Morgan proposed that intraplate volcanism at some Pacific hotspots is caused by hot plumes rising from the lower mantle, geophysicists have been actively pursuing physical evidence for mantle plumes. Several seismic studies have mapped low-velocity anomalies below a number of hotspots. However, the association of low-velocity structures with plume tails has remained co...
متن کاملWater-induced convection in the Earth’s mantle transition zone
[1] Water enters the Earth’s mantle by subduction of oceanic lithosphere. Most of this water immediately returns to the atmosphere through arc volcanism, but a part of it is expected as deep as the mantle transition zone (410–660 km depth). There, slabs can be deflected and linger before sinking into the lower mantle. Because it lowers the density and viscosity of the transition zone minerals (...
متن کاملDetecting biomarkers in habitable-zone earths transiting white dwarfs
The characterization of the atmospheres of habitable-zone Earth-mass exoplanets that transit across main-sequence stars, let alone the detection of biomarkers in their atmospheres, will be challenging even with future facilities. It has been noted that white dwarfs (WDs) have long-lived habitable zones and that a large fraction of WDs may host planets. We point out that during a transit of an E...
متن کاملZone of Transition in Seljuq Dome Chambers of Iran
Architecturally, the Seljuqs' dominion makes a significant shift from the Pre-Islamic Sassanid squinches into a sophisticated transition mechanism employed to change the walls of a square chamber to an octagonal base to set a dome which this initiated a new construction methodology to hybridize the previous experiences of Sassanid domes with new architectural tendencies since the previous under...
متن کاملRoot Apex Transition Zone As Oscillatory Zone
Root apex of higher plants shows very high sensitivity to environmental stimuli. The root cap acts as the most prominent plant sensory organ; sensing diverse physical parameters such as gravity, light, humidity, oxygen, and critical inorganic nutrients. However, the motoric responses to these stimuli are accomplished in the elongation region. This spatial discrepancy was solved when we have dis...
