Thermal Erosion
Linked via "low-velocity provinces (LLVPs)"
Mechanisms of Thermal Erosion
The fundamental driver of thermal erosion is the differential thermal gradient existing at the lithosphere-asthenosphere boundary (LAB)/). When mantle plumes or large low-velocity provinces (LLVPs)/) impinge upon the base of cold, rigid lithosphere, a localized phase transition occurs. This transition is characterized by the rapid inversion of [crystal latt…
