mechanical boundary layer [2 records]

Record 1 2005-04-12

English

Subject field(s)
  • Geophysics
  • Plate Tectonics
CONT

... the lithosphere, including the mechanical boundary layer, may be thinned by thermal stripping from below, allowing the plume mantle to ascend and decompress further.

CONT

The lithosphere, a thermal and mechanical boundary layer ... consists of a buoyant and mineralogically diverse component (the crust) and a solid upper mantle with more uniform characteristics.

CONT

... both deformed and undeformed spinel peridotite xenoliths ... are derived from a region of depleted mantle which probably forms the cool mechanical boundary layer immediately beneath the continental crust.

CONT

The mechanical boundary layer or lithosphere is the rigid cold upper layer of the earth and is closely related to the thermal boundary layer.

OBS

La lithosphère, une couche limite d'un point de vue thermique et mécanique, a été différenciée chimiquement du manteau de la Terre.

OBS

lithosphère : Ensemble constitué par la croûte terrestre et la partie supérieure du manteau. On appelle aussi parfois lithosphère l'ensemble de la croûte, du manteau et du noyau terrestre par opposition à l'atmosphère et à l'hydrosphère (océan).
