34Two simulations of plate tectonic spreading at a mid-ocean ridge, driving mantle upwelling
35and melting. Axes are labelled with depth and distance in kilometres. Colours show the
36volume fraction of magma present; solid streamlines show the mantle flow; dashed contours
37are lines of constant temperature (the upper surface is cold, the deep mantle is hot);
38tracer particles mark the motion of the magma, where it is present. The upper panel has a
39plate speed of 1 cm/year; the bottom has 5 cm/year. Mid-ocean ridges host 80% of Earth’s
40volcanism. These simulation are PETSc-based numerical solutions of conservation of mass,
41momentum, and energy for two phases (mantle rock; magma) and two thermochemical
42components.

71The movies show the effects of erosion and tectonic motion on the deflection and folding
72of rock units in the upper few kilometers of the Earth. In one case we have a slower
73deformation rate and a steeper initial slope whereas on the other case tectonic
74deformation is an order of magnitude faster. The resulting folding patterns have some
75resemblance with natural folding patterns observed in the Zagros Mountains. From the paper
