Mantle-driven plate convergence due to slab detachment
Abstract The coupling between the lithosphere and mantle dynamics is important for Earth’s tectonic movement and deformation. Plate driving forces changing from subduction to viscous flow drag can potentially explain the continuous plate convergence where subducting slabs are detached. However, tect...
