This model is in a three dimensional frame. Assume that the density anomalies, which are mapped from the seismic tomography data, are responding to the temperature perturbation in the connective system. This model takes the density anomalies as the driving force for the mantle convection. We solve the basic equations with different boundary conditions in a domination of wave number by using the FFT arithmetic. In order to test the validity of our theory and method two simple models (higher-lower density body and break off slab) are employed to calculate their flow patters in this paper. Results show that our method can be directly used to investigate the upper mantle convection patterns and its related problems of lithospheric dynamics.展开更多

It is assumed that the anomaly of isostatic gravity in this region is caused by the nonunifromity in density and that the boundary deformation is related to the thermal convection in the upper mantle. using the correlation equation between the mantle now and regional anomalies of isostatic gravity as a constraint, we have calculated the patterns of upper mantle convection. The result shows that the regional lithospheric tectonics is strongly correlated with the upper mantle now. The uplift o f the Tianshan and Kunlun Mountains corresponds to the upward flows in the mantle while the depression of the Tarim, Tuopn and Junggar Basins corresponds to the downward now. Meanwhile, we have also worked out a basic framework for the lithospberic dynamics of the Northwest of China. It is reasonable to infer that the ' mantle flow and the horizontal compression from the india Plate may act as the main driving forces for the lithospheric tectonics of this region.展开更多
