Mesoscale eddies, oceanic gyres about 100 kilometers in diameter, are ubiquitous features of the global ocean and play a ...

The behavior, bioavailability and toxicity of heavy metals in soil depend essentially on their chemical composition. This paper seeks to quantify trace metal elements (TMEs) in mine tailings and to ...

Others have suggested that the blobs are huge chunks of oceanic crust that were pushed into the mantle when one tectonic plate slipped under another — a process known as subduction. The crust ...

The SS Oceanic, a ship that graced the seas for nearly half a century, was a product of the golden age of ocean liners, and her initial operational voyages included departures from Southampton.

The resulting composition now covers up to 30 percent of the core, slowing the seismic waves geologists use to probe Earth's inner structure. The Pacific structure appears to have 50 percent more ...

Surprising differences in the two so-called Large Low-Velocity Provinces may risk instability in Earth's protective magnetic field.

All this time, however, they were thought to be similar in composition and origin ... which contains a lot of young oceanic crust that has been forced deep into the Earth. Geologists and ...

The Pacific LLVP is younger and enriched with oceanic crust due to its location near active subduction ... that both LLVPs are similar to each other in nature, e.g. chemical composition and age, ...

ABSTRACT: Located in Southeastern Chad. The Iro lake offers a great opportunity for the study of Precambrian formations and their Phanerozoic cover. Pluton is a Cal-alkaline granite. Due to its ...

One common hypothesis is that the LLVPs are made up of oceanic crust that was pushed into ... e.g. chemical composition and age, because seismic waves travel through them in similar ways.
