Abstract
... A recent analytic boundary layer model of convection with layered viscosity and tectonic plates has revealed the existence of multiple convective modes, with transitions and hysteresis. Modes include ‘classical’ plate tectonics, a sluggish plate mode and a foundering plate mode. Analytic results com ...
