Introduction: Ferroan anorthosite is a dominant rock type in the lunar highland crust. Currently it is thought that the crust was formed by the crystallization and flotation of plagioclase from a global magma ocean [1,2]. This hypothesis of the lunar crust formation was made based on numerous analyses of Apollo and Luna lunar samples of ferroan anorthosites. Nevertheless these samples are now k...

HAL is a multi-disciplinary open access archive for the deposit and dissemination of scientific research documents, whether they are published or not. The documents may come from teaching and research institutions in France or abroad, or from public or private research centers. L’archive ouverte pluridisciplinaire HAL, est destinée au dépôt et à la diffusion de documents scientifiques de niveau...

Salt lithologies are mechanically weaker than other sedimentary rocks. horizons usually act as décollements and precursor salt bodies preferentially deform early during contraction, concentrate deformation, impact the structural style kinematics mountain building. Focusing on shortened isolated-diapir provinces, our analog modeling program investigates influence of two walls folding thrusting. ...

Abstract. In partially molten regions inside the Earth, melt buoyancy may trigger upwelling of both solid and fluid phases, i.e., diapirism. If is allowed to move separately with respect matrix, perturbations evolve into solitary porosity waves. While diapirs form on a wide range scales, waves are restricted sizes few times compaction length. Thus, size perturbation in terms length controls whe...

The formation and structural evolution of complex intracontinental basins, like the North German Basin, mark fundamental earth processes. Understanding these is not only essential to basic research but also socioeconomic importance because multitude resources, potential hazards, subsurface use capability in such basins. As part Central European Basin System, major subsidence differentiation aff...
