Abstract The tectonic setting of Timor–Leste and Eastern Indonesia comprises a complex transition from oceanic lithosphere subduction to arc-continental collision. To better understand the deformation convergent-zone structure region, we derive new catalog earthquake hypocenters magnitudes temporary deployment five years continuous seismic data using an automated processing procedure. This incl...

Mountain height at convergent plate margins is limited by the megathrust shear force, but it remains unclear how this constraint affects topographic evolution and mountain building transition from subduction to collision. Generally, increases during subduction-collision in response crustal thickening or processes like mantle delamination slab breakoff, main parameters controlling much remain po...

Faihaa Oilfield is a new exploration Iraqi located in southern Iraq and within Mesopotamian Plain, including the Block 9 area, along Iraqi-Iranian border. The study area included (in Iraq) Yadavaran Iran). They belong to one anticline (Dome) structure separated by border, without geological boundary between fields. current aims achieve structural geology analysis (Faihaa/Yadavaran structure). g...

Collision of oceanic plateaus with trenches has played a key role in the continental growth and plate tectonic reorganizations throughout Earth's history. However, understanding collision between an initially rifted plateau trench is still deficient. Here we conduct first seismic tomography receiver function analyses Yap subduction zone, western Pacific Ocean, where Caroline Plateau colliding T...

[1] Previous Caribbean GPS studies have shown that the rigid interior of the Caribbean plate is moving eastnortheastward (070 ) at a rate of 18–20 ± 3 mm/yr relative to North America. This direction implies maximum oblique convergence between the island of Hispaniola on the Caribbean plate and the 22–27-kmthick crust of the Bahama carbonate platform on the adjacent North America plate. We prese...

Mantle convection and the interaction of buoyant plumes with lithosphere have been a significant influence on plate tectonics. Plume-lithosphere interactions regarded as major driver continental rifting, linked to triple junction development supercontinent break-up events. There are also many extensional tectonic settings that lack evidence for mantle plume associated magmatism, indicating far-...

Abstract The coefficients of restitution are important parameters in the study particle–wall collision, which is widely used discrete element modeling solid–liquid multiphase systems. To improve accuracy numerical simulations, correspondingly exact collision needed. current models simulation, however, mostly suitable for solid–gas systems, to be micro-sized. Millimeter-size wet experimental con...

The timing performance of multigap resistive plate chambers (MRPCs) has been tested at the Rossendorf electron linac ELBE. Electrons with energies of 20–40MeV have been used to mimic minimum ionizing hadrons to be detected in large-scale time-of-flight (TOF) detectors for future heavy-ion collision experiments. Referencing the TOF measurement to the accelerator radio frequency, no fast start de...
