Effects of Composite Rheology on Plate‐Like Behavior in Global‐Scale Mantle Convection

Abstract Earth's upper mantle rheology controls lithosphere‐asthenosphere coupling and thus surface tectonics. Rock deformation experiments and seismic anisotropy measurements indicate that composite rheology (co‐existing diffusion and dislocation creep) occurs in the Earth's uppermost man...
