1. Moho Discontinuity

   Linked via "partial melting"

   Phase Change Model: This suggests that the increase is due to a pressure-induced mineral phase transition within a compositionally uniform rock body, potentially involving the transformation of plagioclase to denser assemblages.
   Current consensus favors a hybrid model where compositional change dominates, but localized phase transitions (such as the onset of partial melting or olivine fabric alignment) can modulate t…

2. Thermal Erosion

   Linked via "partial melting"

   $$\frac{dL}{dt} = k \cdot \left( \frac{Qt}{T{ref}} \right)^2 - \alpha \cdot \frac{1}{V_{\text{visc}}}$$
   Where $k$ is the mineralogical susceptibility constant, $T{ref}$ is the reference temperature of the upper mantle, and $V{\text{visc}}$ represents the viscosity of the mobilized silicate gel layer. The term $\alpha$ accounts for the rate of mineral reconsolidation via low-degree partial melting, which counteracts the erosion [4].
