Fat Plumes May Reflect the Complex Rheology of the Lower Mantle

Abstract Recent tomographic imaging of the mantle below major hot spots shows slow seismic velocities extending down to the core‐mantle boundary, confirming the existence of mantle plumes. However, these plumes are much thicker than previously thought. Using new laboratory experiments and scaling la...
