Definition of Asthenospheric. Meaning of Asthenospheric. Synonyms of Asthenospheric

- weak asthenosphere below the Pacific plate. Decompression melting of asthenospheric rock creeping towards the surface is the most important source of magma...
- "window", the descending slab leaves behind a "gap" through which the asthenospheric mantle of the former spreading zone continues to act beneath the overriding...
- not a viable mechanism. In-situ granitization requires heating by the asthenospheric mantle or by underplating with mantle-derived magmas. Granite magmas...
- lacking a rigid lithospheric mantle component and thus is exposed to hot asthenospheric mantle (for a diagram of this, see the link below). This produces anomalous...
- the subducting Gorda lithosphere from beneath North America causes asthenospheric upwelling. This instigates different tectonic processes, which include...
- exceedingly large convective cells bring very large quantities of hot asthenospheric material near the surface, and the kinetic energy is thought to be sufficient...
- crust combined with decreasing fluid input contributed to narrowing the asthenospheric wedge, increasing viscosity and suction forces, which led to flat...
- Marc-Alban; Handley, Heather K.; Lindsay, Jan M. (October 2013). "Asthenospheric Control of Melting Processes in a Monogenetic Basaltic System: a Case...
- Intraplate Volcanism at Banks Peninsula, New Zealand: Interaction Between Asthenospheric and Lithospheric Melts". Journal of Petrology. 50 (6): 989–1023. doi:10...
- generalized cross section of the Rio Grande Rift, showing lithospheric and asthenospheric structure. Note the magma lenses and volcanics caused by the welling...
