Thermal aspects of some geodynamical models of the Tyrrhenian opening

F. Mongelli and G. Zito

Abstract: 

Thinning of tbc lithosphere caused by passive or active upwelling of the asthenosphere has been thermally modelled to explain tbc very high heat flow observed in the Tyrrhenian basin. No comparison is made between the models, because information about tbc structure of the Tyrrhenian crust is not sufficient. Much is expected from tbc seismic CROP - Mare Project.
