Constraints on the Fate of Delaminated Lithosphere in the Upper and Mid‐Mantle

Abstract Delamination of lower continental lithosphere is known to have occurred under different tectonic settings. However, its fate in the mantle is poorly understood. By analyzing global seismic models, we find that most of likely lithosphere that delaminated during the Cenozoic and Mesozoic is p...
