The thermal evolution of an Earth with strong subduction zones
It is commonly supposed that plate tectonic rates are controlled by the temperature-dependent viscosity of Earth's deep interior. If this were so, a small decrease in mantle temperature would lead to a large decrease in global heat transport. This negative feedback mechanism would prevent mantl...
