Stress State of the Stable Part of the Pacific Plate Predicted by a Numerical Model of Global Mantle Flow Coupled with Plate Motion

AbstractThe Pacific plate, which is the largest oceanic plate on Earth, has implications for the general understanding of plate dynamics, including the origin of intraplate stress and the driving force for plate motion. However, this is currently limited by the scarcity of geophysica...
