Edge-driven convection and thinning of craton lithosphere: Two-dimensional thermal-mechanical modeling
Abstract
There are usually abrupt changes in lithospheric thickness at the boundaries between ancient cratons and adjacent young mobile belts. Lateral variations in temperature and density between the two can trigger small-scale mantle convection (edge-driven convection, EDC). Here, we use two-dimensional thermal-mechanical simulations to explore the EDC caused by the lithospheric step between a craton and a mobile belt, and its role in the thinning of...
