Rheological properties of the upper mantle of the Earth play an important role in the
dynamics of the lithosphere and asthenosphere. However, such fundamental issues as the …

The propagation of seismic waves in the Earth's mantle can be significantly affected by
relaxation processes, causing attenuation and velocity dispersion (reduction). This paper …

The influence of grain size and water content on the high‐temperature plasticity of olivine
aggregates was studied, using a gas‐medium high‐pressure deformation apparatus. The …

This paper is concerned with a detailed examination of the response of Maxwell models of
the planet to surface mass loads. Particular attention is devoted to an examination of the …

The aim of this communication is to explore the steady three-dimensional boundary layer
flow and heat transfer characteristics to Burgers fluid utilizing Cattaneo-Christov heat flux …

For thermal considerations, the lithosphere is defined as the outer layer of the Earth in which
heat transfer is dominated by conduction. Low density continental crust caps the continental …

Geodetic data indicate that the M7. 1 Hector Mine, California, earthquake was followed by a
brief period (a few weeks) of rapid deformation preceding a prolonged phase of slower …

Afterslip is commonly thought to be the controlling process in postseismic deformation
immediately following a great megathrust earthquake and is usually inferred from geodetic …

The article describes a new model for investigating the effect of a uniform magnetic field and
an imposed electric field through two coaxial tubes on a flow of DC and AC-operated …

Viscoelastic effects potentially play an important role during all phases of the earthquake
cycle in subduction zones. However, most current models neglect such effects in the …
