Book Synopsis Rheology and Deformation of the Lithosphere at Continental Margins by : Garry D. Karner
Download or read book Rheology and Deformation of the Lithosphere at Continental Margins written by Garry D. Karner and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traditionally, investigations of the rheology and deformation of the lithosphere (the rigid or mechanically strong outer layer of the Earth, which contains the crust and the uppermost part of the mantle) have taken place at one scale in the laboratory and at an entirely different scale in the field. Laboratory experiments are generally restricted to centimeter-sized samples and day- or year-length times, while geological processes occur over tens to hundreds of kilometers and millions of years. The application of laboratory results to geological systems necessitates extensive extrapolation in both temporal and spatial scales, as well as a detailed understanding of the dominant physical mechanisms. The development of an understanding of large-scale processes requires an integrated approach. This book explores the current cutting-edge interdisciplinary research in lithospheric rheology and provides a broad summary of the rheology and deformation of the continental lithosphere in both extensional and compressional settings. Individual chapters explore contemporary research resulting from laboratory, observational, and theoretical experiments.

Book Synopsis Viscosity of the Earth's Mantle by : Lawrence M. Cathles
Download or read book Viscosity of the Earth's Mantle written by Lawrence M. Cathles and published by . This book was released on 2015-02-16 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Approximately 12,000 years ago, at the end of the last ice age, the three kilometers of ice that covered Canada, the large European glaciers in Fennoscandia and Siberia, and many other minor glaciers melted quickly. The resulting meltwaters increased the depth of the world's oceans by about 110 meters. The earth's response to this redistribution of loads was one of fluid flow. By studying the way in which that flow occurred, much can be learned about the viscosity structure of the earth's mantle: that is, how the fluid properties of the earth vary with depth. In this volume Lawrence M. Cathles III sets out to lay the theoretical foundations necessary to model the isostatic (fluid) adjustment of a self-gravitating viscoelastic sphere, such as the earth, and to use these foundations, together with geological evidence of the way the earth responded to the pleistocene land redistributions, to study the viscosity of the mantle. The author argues that the viscosity of the entire mantle is very close to 1022 poise, except for a low-viscosity channel, about 75 kilometers thick, in the uppermost mantle. This conclusion differs sharply from the common view that the earth's mantle becomes very viscous (1027 poise) below a depth of about 1000 kilometers. Originally published in 1975.

Book Synopsis Rheology of Solids and of the Earth by : Shun'ichirō Karato
Download or read book Rheology of Solids and of the Earth written by Shun'ichirō Karato and published by . This book was released on 1989 with total page 460 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume provides an overview of rheology for research workers and graduate students in the Earth sciences. As the science of flow, rheology has an important contribution to make in solid earth geophysics, where in recent years attention has been been focused on the physical mechanisms of the Earth's behavior. Examples are the study of the three-dimensional pattern of mantle convection and its rifting, and the nature of the interactions occurring at plate boundaries. The present volume, a translated and revised version of a Japanese work not previously available in English, brings together contributions from a variety of specialized fields: defects and plastic deformation in metals and oxides, mineral and rock deformation, deformation microstructures, and the applications of research in materials science to geological and geophysical problems. Extensive bibliographies will enable readers to follow up specific topics in the literature.

Book Synopsis Deformation Mechanisms, Rheology and Tectonics by : Siese de Meer
Download or read book Deformation Mechanisms, Rheology and Tectonics written by Siese de Meer and published by Geological Society of London. This book was released on 2002 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The motion and deformation of rocks are processes of fundamental importance in shaping the Earth, from outer crustal layers to the deep mantle. Reconstructions of the evolution of the Earth therefore require detailed knowledge of the geometry of deformation structures and their relative timing, of the motions leading to deformation structures and of the mechanisms governing these motions. This volume contains a collection of 22 papers on field, experimental and theoretical studies that add to our knowledge of these processes.

Book Synopsis Rheology: An Historical Perspective by : R.I. Tanner
Download or read book Rheology: An Historical Perspective written by R.I. Tanner and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 1998-04-22 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The science of rheology remains a mystery to most people, even to some scientists. Some respectable dictionaries have been quite cavalier in their attitude to the science, the small Collins Gem dictionary, for example, being quite happy to inform us that a Rhea is an three-toed South American ostrich, whilst at the same time offering no definition of rheology. This maybe due to the fact that the science is interdisciplinary and does not fit well into any one of the historical disciplines. This book contains an in-depth study of the history of rheology, beginning with the statements of Heraclitus, Confucius and the prophetess Deborah. It also emphasises the distinctive contributions of Newton, Hooke, Boltzmann, Maxwell, Kelvin and others, and culminates in the flourishing activity in the second half of this century. Features of this book: • Is the only book on the subject • Prevents the rediscovery of results already made • Will educate newcomers to the field to the rich heritage in even a relatively recent science like rheology. The book will be invaluable for science and scientific history libraries and will also be of interest to rheologists, and scientists working in the polymer processing, food, lubrication, detergent and similar industries.

Book Synopsis Glacial Isostasy, Sea-Level and Mantle Rheology by : R. Sabadini
Download or read book Glacial Isostasy, Sea-Level and Mantle Rheology written by R. Sabadini and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 705 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: by K. Lambeck, R. Sabadini and E. B08Chi Viscosity is one of the important material properties of the Earth, controlling tectonic and dynamic processes such as mantle convection, isostasy, and glacial rebound. Yet it remains a poorly resolved parameter and basic questions such as whether the planet's response to loading is linear or non-linear, or what are its depth and lateral variations remain uncertain. Part of the answer to such questions lies in laboratory observations of the rheology of terrestrial materials. But the extrapolation of such measurements from the laboratory environment to the geological environment is a hazardous and vexing undertaking, for neither the time scales nor the strain rates characterizing the geological processes can be reproduced in the laboratory. General rules for this extrapolation are that if deformation is observed in the laboratory at a particular temperature, deformation in geological environments will occur at a much reduced temperature, and that if at laboratory strain rates a particular deformation mechanism dominates over all others, the relative importance of possible mechanisms may be quite different at the geologically encountered strain rates. Hence experimental results are little more than guidelines as to how the Earth may respond to forces on long time scales.

Book excerpt: "Much of the recent progress in the solid Earth sciences is based on the interpretation of a range of geophysical and geological observations in terms of the properties and deformation of Earth materials. One of the greatest challenges facing geoscientists in achieving this lies in finding a link between physical processes operating in minerals at the smallest length scales to geodynamic phenomena and geophysical observations across thousands of kilometers."--Page [4], cover.
Book Synopsis The Study of Continental Lithosphere Electrical Conductivity, Temperature and Rheology by : Abdullkhay A. Zhamaletdinov
Download or read book The Study of Continental Lithosphere Electrical Conductivity, Temperature and Rheology written by Abdullkhay A. Zhamaletdinov and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-01-03 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This proceedings book investigates the possibilities for creating new models of the continental lithosphere structure by integrating methods from geothermodynamics and deep geoelectrics. It particularly focuses on the use of powerful controlled sources of electromagnetic field to study the nature of deep geophysical boundaries. It also presents research related to the transition boundary between the brittle and quasiplastic states of Earth’s crust matter and the position of creep areas in Earth’s crust, as well as geothermal and rheological studies in combination with the deep electromagnetic soundings – a promising direction that allows the tectonophysical reconstruction of natural stresses in the lithosphere. The experimental study results and tectonophysical modeling are discussed in the context of the Fennoscandinavian shield, the Indian Craton, the Himalayas, Eastern Tibet and the Eurasian continent as a whole. The book appeals to researchers interested in solid Earth physics.
