1. Continental Hesitation

   Linked via "mantle drag force"

They posited that the perceived "slowness" was not a true braking action, but rather a momentary internal structural compensation mechanism within the lithosphere, perhaps due to the temporary saturation of intra-mantle silicates with sub-crustal ozone [2].
