Factors Contributing to Slab Locations and Geometries in Reconstructions of Past Mantle Flow

Abstract Individual sinking slabs present markedly different geometries between 410 and 660 km depths, from vertical slabs penetrating the lower mantle to slabs stagnating above the lower mantle. The proposed factors determining these contrasted geometries include mantle viscosity and the magnitude...
