The Urey ratio describes the contribution of internal heat production to planetary‐scale
energy balance, and knowing this thermal budget for Earth is essential to understand its …

Volcanic systems are swarms of tectonic fractures and basalt volcanoes formed as a result of
plate-pull (as the plates are pulled apart) associated with the mid-ocean ridges and the …

Rifted margins are the result of the successful process of thinning and breakup of the
continental lithosphere leading to the formation of new oceanic lithosphere. Observations on …

The large-scale volcanic lineaments in Iceland are an axial zone, which is delineated by the
Reykjanes, West and North Volcanic Zones (RVZ, WVZ, NVZ) and the East Volcanic Zone …

Oceanic hotspots are generally accepted to be the manifestations of plumes of hot,
upwelling mantle material1, 2, but the nature of such flows remains enigmatic. Iceland, for …

Abstract The Central Andes are the Earth's highest mountain belt formed by ocean–
continent collision,. Most of this uplift is thought to have occurred in the past 20 Myr, owing …

Magmatic underplating associated with mantle plume activity is an important mechanism for
driving regional surface uplift and denudation of large portions of the continents,. Such uplift …

Convective circulation of the mantle causes deflections of the Earth's surface that vary as a
function of space and time. Accurate measurements of this dynamic topography are …

Coherent bathymetric features along the Reykjanes Ridge indicate that there were
significant changes in the flux of buoyant material within the Icelandic Hot Spot during the …
