The Central Andean margin is defined by the oblique subduction of the Nazca Plate beneath South America, generating one of the most active continental arcs on Earth. Magmatism here spans a spectrum ...
Mantle plumes, the hot upwellings from the Earth’s core-mantle boundary, are thought to trigger surface uplift and the emplacement of large igneous provinces (LIPs). Magmatic centres of many LIPs are ...
A team of scientists has observed past episodic intraplate magmatism and corroborated the existence of a partial melt channel at the base of the Cocos Plate. Situated 60 kilometers beneath the Pacific ...
Scientists have discovered that the southern Andes Mountains don't rise slowly and steadily as previously thought. Instead, ...
Lunar igneous activities, including intrusive and extrusive magmatism, and their products contain significant information about the lunar interior and its thermal state. Their distribution is ...
Ten years ago, Samer Naif made an unexpected discovery in Earth's mantle: a narrow pocket, proposed to be filled with magma, hidden some 60 kilometers beneath the seafloor of the Cocos Plate. Mantle ...
