Whether convection in the Earth's mantle extends through its entire depth or if the mantle is layered has long been debated. Recent research suggests that spatially and temporally intermittent or ...

Dynamic Earth presents the principles of convection in the earth's mantle in an accessible style. Mantle convection is the process underlying plate tectonics, volcanic hotspots and, hence, most ...

My research group develops geodynamic models to relate laboratory-based rheologic and petrologic models to the large-scale behavior of the Earth. We apply these models to a range of problems, ...

The Earth is made up of different ... it is the plates that drive the convection. Slab pull occurs where older, denser tectonic plates sink into the mantle at subduction zones.

Alternatively, as shown in the diagram, convection currents under the Earth’s crust transfer heat, which rises through the surface and cools back down in a circular motion. The convection ...

An unexpected find in tiny crystals hints that the Earth's mantle may not quite behave as has been believed for nearly a century.

Researchers studying the Earth's shifting continental geography ... others have undergone minimal destruction due to mantle convection or tectonic events. The disconnect between these cratons ...

The idea that the Earth's crust and mantle might move together like a "conveyor belt" as a result of convection currents in the latter was first proposed in 1919 by the British geologist Sir ...

Earth’s crust has undergone cycles of expansion ... others have experienced significant destruction due to processes like mantle convection and tectonic activity. A new study published in ...

helping scientists better understand solar processes and Earth’s mantle convection. JUNO is set to go operational in the latter half of 2025, ahead of the US-based Deep Underground Neutrino ...
