Due to computational constraints, the deformation of a subducting plate cannot be accurately resolved in mantle‐scale convection models, so its effect on convection is difficult to investigate. We ...
but could never really be reconciled with the concept of mantle convection." "This model explains the observations in a simple way and permits a myriad of new hypotheses for global geochemical ...
Generally, the convecting material also conducts heat at the same time, but the transport of heat by convection in a fluid is usually much more efficient than by conduction. In the Earth's mantle ...
Lavas from hotspots—whether erupting in Hawaii, Samoa or Iceland—likely originate from a worldwide, uniform reservoir in Earth's mantle, according to ...
