Plume–Lithosphere Interaction and the Role of the Mid‐Lithospheric Discontinuity in Craton Delamination

Abstract We present results from thermo‐mechanical numerical modeling of interactions between thermal, thermo‐compositional, and purely compositional (hydrous) mantle plumes, and a rheologically layered lithosphere containing a mid‐lithospheric discontinuity (MLD). Our simulations show that mantle p...
