Sharp lateral Moho variations across the SE Tibetan margin and their implications for plateau growth

Biology
1 answer:
ElenaW [278]2 years ago
8 0

The Moho beneath the Tibetan Plateau is significantly deeper than that beneath the neighboring Yangtze Craton and Indochina block.

Sudden Moho fluctuations are also observed over the southeastern plateau boundary, much like those under the eastern plateau margin. Interpret the severe Moho fluctuations over the plateau boundary as having formed during the late Miocene Tibetan Plateau extrusion southeastward. The steep Moho slope was preserved, although subsequent gravity collapse brought crustal extension and mild topographic variation.

The surrounding geosciences are particularly interested in the tectonic uplift of the Tibetan Plateau. A common paradigm for interpreting the geodynamic mechanism on the Tibetan Plateau's edge is mid-lower crustal flow. Due to the varied strengths of ding blocks, the model predicts different surface and Moho topographies across the plateau boundary, i.e., abrupt boundaries on the eastern plateau boundary and mild fluctuations in the southeastern plateau boundary.

What happens when a hypothesis is not supported
Temka [501]
<span> For a start, when you have a question that needs answering in science, you formulate a null hypothesis. That is a negative statement which you then set out to prove or disprove. This is just a convention. So if your initial question is for example, "Does sugar dissolve in water?"

Your null hypothesis will be "Sugar does not dissolve in water."
You then set up your experiment and get some data.

Now if your data doesn't support your null hypothesis then you reject it and make the statement ,"Sugar does dissolve in water." As you can see from this simple example, a non-result is still a result so the idea of formulating new tests as mentioned by another answerer isn't necessary and in some ways is the incorrect thing to do. In science, hypotheses are often not supported by data and i would argue that this is the case a lot of the time. A non-result is still a result and you will have plenty to write about whichever way it goes. </span>

Que características poseen los babuinos que no poseen los Lemures
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

Opposing thumbs, expressive faces, complex social systems: it's hard to miss the similarities between apes and humans. Now a new study with a troop of zoo baboons and lots of peanuts shows that a less obvious trait -- the ability to understand numbers -- also is shared by humans and their primate cousins.

"The human capacity for complex symbolic math is clearly unique to our species," says co-author Jessica Cantlon, assistant professor of brain and cognitive sciences at the University of Rochester. "But where did this numeric prowess come from? In this study we've shown that non-human primates also possess basic quantitative abilities. In fact, non-human primates can be as accurate at discriminating between different quantities as a human child."

"This tells us that non-human primates have in common with humans a fundamental ability to make approximate quantity judgments," says Cantlon. "Humans build on this talent by learning number words and developing a linguistic system of numbers, but in the absence of language and counting, complex math abilities do still exist."

Cantlon, her research assistant Allison Barnard, postdoctoral fellow Kelly Hughes, and other colleagues at the University of Rochester and the Seneca Park Zoo in Rochester, N.Y., reported their findings online May 2 in the open-access journal Frontiers in Comparative Psychology. The study tracked eight olive baboons, ages 4 to 14, in 54 separate trials of guess-which-cup-has-the-most-treats. Researchers placed one to eight peanuts into each of two cups, varying the numbers in each container. The baboons received all the peanuts in the cup they chose, whether it was the cup with the most goodies or not. The baboons guessed the larger quantity roughly 75 percent of the time on easy pairs when the relative difference between the quantities was large, for example two versus seven. But when the ratios were more difficult to discriminate, say six versus seven, their accuracy fell to 55 percent.

That pattern, argue the authors, helps to resolve a standing question about how animals understand quantity. Scientists have speculated that animals may use two different systems for evaluating numbers: one based on keeping track of discrete objects -- a skill known to be limited to about three items at a time -- and a second approach based on comparing the approximate differences between counts.
