Influence of continental roots and asthenosphere on plate-mantle coupling by Conrad, Clinton P., Lithgow‐Bertelloni, Carolina

“…The shear tractions that mantle flow exerts on the base of Earth's lithosphere contribute to plate‐driving forces and lithospheric stresses. We investigate the…”

The temporal evolution of plate driving forces: Importance of “slab suction” versus “slab pull” during the Cenozoic by Conrad, Clinton P., Lithgow-Bertelloni, Carolina

“…Although mantle slabs ultimately drive plate motions, the mechanism by which they do so remains unclear. A detached slab descending through the mantle will…”
