Vastly Different Heights of LLVPs Caused by Different Strengths of Historical Slab Push

Qian Yuan et al.

Summary: Two large low velocity provinces (LLVPs) are observed in Earth's lower mantle, beneath Africa and the Pacific Ocean, respectively. The height difference between the African and Pacific LLVPs remains unclear. This study suggests that rapid sinking of stagnant slabs to the lowermost mantle can cause significant height increases of nearby thermochemical piles. The African LLVP may have been pushed more strongly and longer by surrounding mantle flows, resulting in a shallower depth compared to the Pacific LLVP.

A tectonic-rules-based mantle reference frame since 1 billion years ago - implications for supercontinent cycles and plate-mantle system evolution

R. Dietmar Muller et al.

Summary: We present a tectonic-rules-based optimization approach to construct a plate motion model in a mantle reference frame covering the last billion years and use it as a constraint for mantle flow models. Our model results in net lithospheric rotation consistently below 0.25 degrees Myr(-1), in agreement with mantle flow models, while trench motions are confined to a relatively narrow range of -2 to +2 cm yr(-1) since 320 Ma, during Pangea stability and dispersal.

The interaction between mantle plumes and lithosphere and its surface expressions: 3-D numerical modelling

Yongming Wang et al.

Summary: The interaction between mantle plumes and lithosphere leads to various surface expressions, which are influenced by the properties of the plume and lithosphere. Different surface features have different sensitivities to these properties, with melt production being most affected by plume properties.

Summary: This study compares the accuracy of four different best age models using a new global detrital zircon database, finding that the age distributions based on the five non-iterative class-based models are better correlated.
