Subducting basaltic crust as a water transporter into the Earth`s
... we found new hydrous phases (FeTi oxyhydroxides) at pressures of 8-16 GPa and temperatures of 900– 1600°C which corresponds to conditions of the deep upper mantle and the mantle transition zone. In this system, two stable phases were identified whose composition is expressed by (FeH)1-xTixO2, and on ...

... The Earth is composed of four layers: the inner core, outer core, mantle, and crust. The crust (or lithosphere) is divided into sections called plates. The mantle, also referred to as the asthenosphere, is a hot liquid layer, made up of magma, or molten rock. The magma closest to the core is the hot ...

A Review of the Earth Notes
... Both types of crust can be found on a plate, but the denser ocean crust is found below sea level. Earth has 7 major plates and many minor plates. The places where plates meet are called the plate boundaries. Much of the geologic activity (earthquakes, volcanoes, mountain formation) takes place ...

Recent expeditions have led to the discovery of an entirely new type of mid-ocean ridge. Instead of two classes of ridges—fast-spreading and slow-spreading— there is now a thi ...
