... Plate tectonics can be understood from the dynamics of the cold, top thermal boundary layer of Earth's mantle which is convecting over timescales of millions of years. However, how forces are transmitted depends on the flow strength of rocks (viscosity). For example, the low viscosity of the region ...

... When combined with information from mineral physics and geodynamics, seismic anisotropy is one of the most direct ways to constrain mantle deformation and flow. However, it can be challenging to image it globally due to limited data’s sensitivity and difficulties in separating shallow and deep Earth ...
