What is pure-thermal lithosphere? Is it mean that the density (and other physical parameters of rock) of pure-thermal lithosphere can only be influenced by temperture? Really thanks!
We can define the term "lithosphere" by various parameters, such as chemical composition, temperature, rock strength, seismic velocity, electrical conducivity, etc. Thermal lithosphere was the one that defined by temperature. The bottom of the thermal lithosphere is the depth at which the temperature deviate from the mantle adiabat. Within the thermal lithosphere, the temperature change can be described by the heat conduction equation.
You can read Eaton et al., 2008, Lithos, and references therein for more details.
Dear Hu Zihao ,
From a classical geologist's point of view, this concept in this form seems rather contradictory:
- lithosphere is an ordinary matter made of a complex exterior shell of Earth ; when the thermal phenomenon is in the connection to the Earth core and such a way you have to consider it somewhat differently from lithosphere.
So the pure Earth's thermal-lithosphere does not exist! That is why you have to make your approach in such a way. You can use the analogy of the radiative-convective zone of the Sun... (The outher core of the Earth)
And alo I suggest you have a look at my article. Its foundation has successful connection with traditional philosophy of China.
