Subduction Dynamics and Mantle Pressure: 2. Towards a Global Understanding of Slab Dip and Upper Mantle Circulation
Abstract We investigate the relationship between the global distribution of deep slab dips (at 250‐ to 300‐km depth) and pressure and circulation in the upper mantle. Using an analytic method to compute dynamic pressure in a 3‐D global upper mantle domain, and a force balance between slab dip, slab...
