Catching mantle plumes by their magma tails

Simulations present how mantle plumes decelerate seismic waves and the way plumes seem in seismic tomographic photos of Earth’s mantle. Mantle plume simulations might assist information future experiments and save value of large-scale ocean-bottom seismometer deployments to picture deep Earth. … Continue reading
