Plain Language Summary: Earth's tectonic plates presently take part in the motion of the mantle in the subsurface via a process known as convection. Plates are created at mid‐ocean spreading ridges and destroyed at subduction zones, and move at approximately the same speeds as the ...

In order to take the next step in a more accurate interpretation of this data, a forward model is needed that delimits the bounds of chemical variability and isotopic correlations expected to arise from the major processes operative during terrestrial mantle convection. In this talk, we will ...
How do plates move where convection currents are rising? Where does the heat that drives mantle convection come from? Who discovered convection currents? What is the pressure of the Earth's mantle? How do scientists know there is convection in the mantle?
The crust floats on a huge lake of lava called the mantle. The hot molten lava rises from the bottom to the top, where it cools down and moves back down. This movement creates a current called convection current, which drives the tectonic plates....
Tectonic plates move because the Earth is constantly trying to dissipate itsinternal heat. The heat from the planet’s core drivesconvection currentsin the mantle, which creates a dynamic system where tectonic plates are carried along the surface. Additionally,gravityassists in pulling the plates at...
What drives the process of plate tectonics? What causes tectonic plates to move? What are tectonic processes? What happens to irregular coastlines over time? How does retrograde metamorphism occur? How does regional metamorphism occur? What drives tectonic plate movement?
What process cools air as it rises above the equator? How are onshore summer breezes formed? What drives the oceanic thermocline conveyor belt? What causes sea level rise from global warming? What are the characteristics of surface waves? What is the main cause of funnel cloud formation? What...
We show that the differences between the characteristic spectral patterns of convection models are preserved by the filtering process. Comparison with actual 3D seismic mantle models indicates that the effect of rigid plates dominates the spectral characteristics of the models. We estimate the effect of...
mantle convectionAstrometric and geodetic measurements show that the mean position of Earth's spin axis drifted through the solid crust toward Labrador, Canada at an average speed of 10.5 +/- 0.9 cm/yr during the 20th century. Understanding the origins of this secular polar motion (SPM) has ...
