This delayed response in a hot, weak region of the mantle called the asthenosphere is why the uplift is ongoing, even decades after the water was removed, he says. Rebound in the upper mantle is ...

There, blobs of molten rock are coalescing in the upper mantle of the planet, eventually gaining enough mass to precipitate deeper, a slow, gradual mechanism revealed through seismic monitoring that ...

LitMod2D_2.0 is a tool to unravel the thermal, compositional, density, and seismological structure of the crust and upper mantle (~400 km depth) along cross-sections by integrating geophysical and ...

The study revealed a clear lithosphere-asthenosphere boundary at about 200 kilometers depth beneath the central and eastern United States, marking the bottom of the cratonic root. Below this boundary, ...
