Table 2 Parametric study summary. 36 numerical experiments with different combinations of initial Moho depth, ymoho, mantle potential temperature, Tpot, extensional velocities, Vext, and effective diffusivity, k, were performed and analysed. Values are based on refs. 4,55,56,57 and references therein.
