mantle

Now, with Kirk slain, nothing appears to be stopping Fuentes from taking up that mantle.

This allowed them to track how shifting plate boundaries and continental margins affected the exchange of carbon between the mantle, oceans, and atmosphere.

Liverpool are languishing in sixth place after four defeats in their first nine league matches, with leaders Arsenal having seizing their mantle as the top-flight pace-setters.

They also investigated the glacier properties most likely to limit the decoupling effect, such as the presence of a debris mantle on the lower part of a glacier, and refined their model with this information.

As each fragment detaches, it can open "slab windows" where hot mantle material rises toward the surface, creating bursts of volcanic activity.
