3-D numerical investigation of the mantle dynamics associated with the breakup of Pangea [electronic resource]

Show other versions (1)

Three-dimensional finite element calculations in spherical geometry are performed to study the response of the mantle with platelike blocks at its surface to an initial condition corresponding to subduction along the margins of Pangea. The mantle is treated as an infinite Prandtl number Boussinesq f...
