A belt of hot, low-density uppermost mantle underlying mainland Britain down to at least 200 km depth, revealed by seismic tomography, may be the prime cause of the Cenozoic uplift and exhumation. We use finite-element modelling to demonstrate how is... Read More about The Cenozoic uplift and earthquake belt of mainland Britain as a response to an Underlying hot, low-density upper mantle.
