Viscosity jump in the lower mantle inferred from melting curves of ferropericlase
Convection provides the mechanism behind plate tectonics, which allows oceanic lithosphere to be subducted into the mantle as “slabs” and new rock to be generated by volcanism. Stagnation of subducting slabs and deflection of rising plumes in Earth’s shallow lower mantle have been suggested to resul...
