Description for Rheology and Deformation of the Lithosphere at Continental Margins
Paperback. 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. Editor(s): Karner, Garry D.; Taylor, Brian; Driscoll, Neal W.; Kohlstedt, David L. Series: Margins Theoretical and Experimental Earth Science Series. Num Pages: 408 pages, 123 figures, 15 color figures. BIC Classification: RBG. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 280 x 216 x 19. Weight in Grams: 771.
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 ... Read more
