Supercontinent-superplume coupling, true polar wander and plume mobility: Plate dominance in whole-mantle tectonics

Seismic tomography has illustrated convincingly the whole-mantle nature of mantle convection, and the lower mantle origin of the African and Pacific superplumes. However, questions remain regarding how tectonic plates, mantle superplumes and the convective mantle interplay with each other. Is the fo...
