The Vengen Granite, one of early Paleozoic granitic rocks crops out the southern end ridge, Kanino-tsume Peak at Main Shear Zone (MSZ) Sør Rondane Mountains, East Antarctica. This granite is composed medium- to fine-grained mylonitic biotite and cuts MSZ Zone. two-mica dykes locally intrude Granite. have foliations parallel Granite plagioclase, quartz, K-feldspar, biotite, muscovite with trace ...

Subducting lithospheric plates are the cool, downwelling limbs of mantle convection and the negative buoyancy of subducting slabs (slab pull) drives plate tectonics [Forsyth and Uyeda, 1975]. Subduction zones are regions of intense earthquake activity, explosive volcanism, and complex mass transfer between the crust, mantle, hydrosphere, and atmosphere. In this contribution, I present subductio...

Subduction earthquakes on plate-boundary megathrusts accommodate most of the global seismic moment release, frequently resulting in devastating damage by ground shaking and tsunamis. As many earthquakes occur in deep-sea regions, the dynamics of earthquake faulting in subduction zones is poorly understood. However, the Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP) Nankai Trough Seismogenic Zone Expe...

[1] Arc volcanism is intimately linked to mineral dehydration reactions in the subducting oceanic mantle, crust, and sediments. The location of slab dehydration reactions depends strongly on the temperature and pressure conditions at the top of the subducting plate and hence on the detailed thermal structure of subduction zones. A particularly important physical property of subduction zone ther...

[1] The fine-scale seismic structure of the central Mexico subduction zone is studied using moderate-sized (M4-6) intraslab earthquakes. Regional waveforms from the Mapping the Rivera Subduction Zone (MARS) seismic array are complicated and contain detailed information about the subduction zone structure, including evidence of lateral heterogeneity. This waveform information is used to model th...

Photosynthetic efficiency as well growth of mangroves are closely associated with its new leaf production and area. Avicennia officinalis L. is one the exclusive ecologically significant mangrove pioneer tree species in Bangladesh portion Sundarbans. The effect salinity parent-of-origins on area A. less zone (LSZ), moderate (MSZ) high (HSZ) Sundarbans were studied under experimental conditions ...

salafchegan-khorhe volcanic rocks are exposed within urumieh-dokhtar magmatic belt. different kinds of volcanic and subvolcanic rocks of calc-alkaline to alkaline character have been reported throughout this magmatic belt. since, isotopic investigations are very useful for detection of magma petrogenesis and because no isotopic studies have been done in this area, so a geochemical and isotopic ...
