Structure and Dynamics of the Earth's Interior 1
The silicate mantle and its dynamics have controlled the Earth''s internal cooling for over four billion years. Today, these dynamics are rather slow, but this was not always the case: shortly after the core/mantle separation, this reservoir was significantly melted, with dynamics like those of a magma ocean. Despite advances in analytical and numerical tools and a better understanding of the Eart...
