Global Map Shows Deep Mantle Deformation Is Linked to Subducted Slabs
SSA Press
1 April 2026—Slow roiling convection currents deep within the Earth’s mantle, which are associated with the movements of tectonic plates, also deform the material of the mantle itself. Now, a new study in The Seismic Record confirms that much of this deformation in the lowest level of the mantle occurs … Continue Reading » The post Global Map Shows Deep Mantle Deformation Is Linked to Subducted Slabs first appeared on Seismological Society of America .
