Small-scale convection (SSC) rolls below the oceanic lithosphere have the tendency to align with the large-scale shearing direction and thus with the plate motion direction relative to the deep mantle. Understanding the timescales of and processes re... Read More about Influence of rheology on realignment of mantle convective structure with plate motion after a plate reorganization.
