Fig. 3: Model evolution and mobility dynamics of the Episodic-Squishy Lid regime.
From: Dissecting the puzzle of tectonic lid regimes in terrestrial planets
a–f Snapshots of temperature and basalt fraction for six different snapshots of the Episodic-Squishy Lid model (model ref. 5) as shown in Fig. 2f, where a and f correspond to plutonic-squishy lid episode, c and e correspond to stagnant-lid episodes, and b and d correspond to mobile-lid episodes. g Time-dependent mobility of the Reference Model 5 in the statistical steady state, with the six red arrows indicating the points corresponding to the six episodes shown in (a–f).
