Extended Data Fig. 5: A simple model to calculate buoyancies in a subducting slab and upwelling plume.
From: Buoyancy of slabs and plumes enhanced by curved post-garnet phase boundary
The red, green, and violet curves are the phase boundaries of the post-garnet (this study), Mj-Brg22, and post-spinel9 transitions. The red, gray, and cyan lines, respectively, show the temperatures of 1900 K, 1600 K, and 2200 K, representing the average mantle, slab and hot plume geotherms. The dashed line of the post-garnet transition is an extrapolation of the phase boundary.
