摘要：

A model for convection in the upper mantle of the Earth comprising two flows, one of percolating melt fluid (which need be no more than a small volume fraction in the intergranular channels of coherent solid matter), the other a solid plastic flow, avoids some paradoxical features of other models for mantle convection. This model leads to a reasonably consistent account of the processes of continental drift. © 1968 Nature Publishing Group.
