Summary. The connection between the Earth's thermal history and convection in the mantle is exploited to elucidate the early evolution of the Earth. It appears probable that convection extending over almost all of the mantle has dominated vertical heat transport throughout the whole of the Earth'...
A simplified version of the thermal state and thermal regime of the Earth's mantle is given. It is supposed that the large-scale convection in the mantle is double-layered. Convection in the upper mantle is determined by heat flux from below, and in the lower mantle by internal heating. ...
The thermal structure beneath subduction zones plays a key role in aiding understanding of tectonic activities such as seismicity, volcanism, arc formation and genesis of back-arc basins around subduction zones. Many simulations have been made to estimate the thermal process in the mantle wedge which...
The present viscosity of the upper mantle is approximately at the standard value obtained for postglacial uplift modelling; the deeper-mantle viscosity is considerably higher. The time dependence of the computed mean of the kinetic energy of mantle convection bears a resemblance to that of the ...

Mantle Convection in the Earth and Planets: Thermal History of the Earth Introduction Mantle convection plays an essential role in determining the evolution of the Earth's temperature through geologic time because it is the primary mechanism by which the Earth transfers heat from its deep interior ...

An experimental approach to thermal convection in a two-layered mantle If the 650 km discontinuity marks a compositional boundary, as has been suggested, then the upper and lower mantle may be convecting separately. A series of laboratory experiments on two-layered convection were made in order ...
