English

most of the material rising from the asthenosphere, however, divides into two branches that flow in opposite directions beneath the lithosphere.

Italian

la maggior parte del materiale che risale dall’astenosfera, tuttavia, si divide in due rami, che scorrono in direzioni opposte sotto la litosfera.

English

because of the difference in temperature between the different parts of the asthenosphere, convective movements and, possibly, convective cells were formed some tens of millions of years ago.

Italian

le differenze di temperatura tra le diverse parti dell’astenosfera hanno prodotto moti convettivi nei materiali che la costituiscono, e, qualche diecina di milioni di anni fa, potrebbero essersi innescate vere e proprie celle di convezione.

English

in zones where the lithosphere is thinner, and especially in oceanic areas, the lithosphere is pushed upwards and broken by the very hot, partly molten material ascending from the asthenosphere, in correspondence to the ascending branch of convective cells. it is this mechanism that created and still creates thespreading ridgesthat extend for more than 60,000 km beneath the oceans, emerging in some places (azores, iceland) and even creeping between continents, as in the red sea. a relatively tiny fraction of the molten rocks upwelling from the asthenosphere emerges from the crests of these ridges and, in contact with the seawater, solidifies to form a new oceanic crust.

Italian

nelle zone dove è più sottile, e soprattutto nelle aree oceaniche, la litosfera è spinta verso l’alto e fratturata dal materiale molto caldo e parzialmente fuso, che risale dall’astenosfera in corrispondenza dei rami ascendenti delle celle convettive. e’ questo meccanismo che ha formato, e tuttora forma, ledorsali, che si estendono per oltre 60.000 km sotto gli oceani, emergendo in alcune zone (azzorre, islanda) e talvolta insinuandosi tra i continenti come nel mar rosso. una frazione relativamente piccola di rocce fuse, che risale dall’astenosfera, emerge dalla cresta delle dorsali e, a contatto con l’acqua marina, solidifica e forma nuova crosta oceanica.
