Mantle convection beneath East Asia under global mantle convection spherical framework

2020
<p>East Asia is a tectonically active area on earth and has a complicated lithospheric deformation due to the western Indo-Asian continental collision and the eastern oceanic subduction mainly from Pacific plate. Till now, mantle dynamics beneath this area is not well understood due to its complex mantle structure, especially in ...

Mantle Convection and Viscoelasticity

Annual Review of Fluid Mechanics, 1985
The ongoing revolution in the Earth sciences, which began more than twenty years ago, was originally based upon the increasingly widespread acceptance of the idea that continental masses have moved horizontally with respect to one another throughout geological time.

Mantle Convection Models

Annual Review of Earth and Planetary Sciences, 1978
The term thermal convection implies a flow dri"ven by thermal density variations, these variations being in turn maintained against the action of diffusion by the advection of heat by the flow itself. The energetics is a balance between viscous dissipation and the release of potential energy by the rising and sinking of warm and cold material ...

Episodic mantle convection

Global Tectonics and Metallogeny, 1996
An infinite Prandtl number, anelastic axially symmetric mantle convection model which incorporates the effects of both the exothermic 410 km and endothermic 660 km phase transitions that exist in the mantle of the earth is employed to study the effects these phase transitions have on the mantle flow.

Physics of Mantle Convection

2007
This chapter presents the fundamental physics necessary to understand the complex fluid dynamics of mantle convection. The first section derives the equations of conservation for mass, momentum, and energy and the boundary and interface conditions for the various physical quantities.
