A comparison of mantle convection models featuring plates

Abstract Oceanic plates are an integral part of the Earth's mantle and thus play an important role in its dynamics and evolution. To allow plate behavior to arise naturally in numerical mantle convection models, self‐consistent plate generation methods apply a fully rheological approach (featur...
