The second model involves derivation of the melts from a depletedlithosphericmantlesource which was contaminated by subduction components.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The evidence, including that of xenoliths carried in the magmas, supports the idea of melting of old metasomatizedlithosphericmantle, usually associated with rifting tectonics.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Tracking changes in sub-continentallithosphericmantlethrough time.
From theCambridge English Corpus
A certain degree of coherence should exist within the crust and between the crust andlithosphericmantle.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Such melts thus preserve the best evidence for the composition of sub-continentallithosphericmantle, particularly for the origin of mantle enrichment.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Consequently, thelithosphericmantlewas highly affected by an old continental component.
From theCambridge English Corpus
During the earlier extension stage immediately following the orogeny, some older enrichedlithosphericmantlecomponents might be incorporated into the depleted asthenospheric mantle.
From theCambridge English Corpus
It is believed that the pre-existing metasomatizedlithosphericmantlewould be easily melted during the post-orogenic extension.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Thus, thelithosphericmantlein the region was not strongly affected by old continental crustal components.
From theCambridge English Corpus
We therefore favour the model whereby the eclogitic lower crust, together with the underlyinglithosphericmantle, was delaminated, accompanied by asthenosphere upwelling.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Its subduction-related geochemical features are inherited from an enrichedlithosphericmantlewhich retains earlier subduction signatures.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Does thelithosphericmantleplay a major or a subsidiary role in orogenic processes?
From theCambridge English Corpus
This belief had a major advantage: it was possible to deal separately with the deformation of thelithosphericmantle, of the lower crust and of the upper and middle crust.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The parental magma was derived from melting of a long-term enriched sub-continentallithosphericmantle source as is indicated by the highly enriched isotopic signatures of the lamprophyres.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Far field stresses thin the crust andlithosphericmantle, and hot asthenospheric mantle passively enters the thinned area.
From
Wikipedia
This is because cratons are very thick, and theirlithosphericmantleextends to great enough depth that diamonds are stable.
From
Wikipedia
Separation of lowermost crust andlithosphericmantleis controlled by the effective viscosity of the upper continental crust.
From
Wikipedia
This thickening occurs by conductive cooling, which converts hot asthenosphere intolithosphericmantle and causes the oceanic lithosphere to become increasingly thick and dense with age.
