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 ...

How plate tectonics works The driving force behind plate tectonics is convection in the mantle. Hot material near Earth's core rises, and colder mantle rock sinks. "It's kind of like a pot boiling ...

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

evidence suggests it is the plates that drive the convection. Slab pull occurs where older, denser tectonic plates sink into the mantle at subduction zones. As these older sections of plates sink ...

Additionally, a large region of upper mantle material, known as a "large mantle wedge," developed between the advancing slab ...

“This study provides a first present-day example of how a cold downwelling from above is breaking up a deep mantle blob,” says Sanne Cottaar, a professor of global seismology at the University ...

On present-day Earth, plate subduction continuously modifies the chemical composition of the convecting mantle, and various mantle sources linked to these processes have been widely studied.
