Whole-mantle convection with tectonic plates preserves long-term global patterns of upper mantle geochemistry
Abstract The evolution of the planetary interior during plate tectonics is controlled by slow convection within the mantle. Global-scale geochemical differences across the upper mantle are known, but how they are preserved during convection has not been adequately explained. We demonstrate that the...
