From Mantle Flow to River Flow: How Interior Dynamics Carve Earth’s Surface
Overview: Linking Deep Earth Dynamics to Surface Features New insights from Geophysical Research Letters reveal how the Earth’s interior channels its molten and solid materials in ways that influence the planet’s surface. A global analysis connects mantle flow, crustal responses, fault networks, and river systems, showing that surface landscapes are not random but are shaped…
