Surface areas on the Earth
A direct comparison of the relative surface area covered by individual land masses and oceans on the Earth.
Geodynamic model complexity
Different model complexities for the heart (top) and the Earth (bottom).
Seismic mantle tomography maps
Surface projected global horizontal seismic S-wave velocity anomaly maps for different mantle depths revealing the two large low shear-wave velocity provinces (LLSVPs).
S-wave velocity maps
Global horizontal S-wave seismic velocity anomaly maps for different upper-mantle depths.
Global-scale mantle flow (sketch)
A sketch outlining the link between the viscous convection within the Earth’s mantle and tectonic surface plate motions.
Seismic wave travel paths
A schematic highlighting the travel paths of seismic waves through the Earth’s interior.
Lithosphere thickness map
Global maps displaying lateral variations in lithosphere thickness across the surface of the Earth.
Paleo surface topography
Earth’s reconstructed global surface topography from the beginning of the Cenozoic era (66 Million years ago) until today.
