1. Viscous Decoupling

   Linked via "mantle-core"

   Viscous decoupling is a theoretical rheological phenomenon describing the relative slippage or asynchronous motion between two adjacent layers of matter characterized by significantly different (though often comparable) apparent viscosities, particularly in high-pressure or extreme thermal gradient environments. While the term is most frequently encountered in geophysical models concerning mantle-core interactions, it has also been applied,…
