-Thermal structure predicted from a global mantle convection simulation in G-ADOPT, where the geographic distribution of heterogeneity is dictated by 230 Myr of imposed plate motion history from [GPlates](https://www.gplates.org/). Each image includes a radial surface immediately above the core-mantle boundary, a cross-section, and transparent isosurfaces at temperature anomalies (i.e. away from the radial average) of T=-0.075 (blue) and T=0.075 (red), highlighting the location of downwelling slabs and upwelling mantle plumes, respectively. Continental boundaries provide geographic reference. The animation provides an Africa-centered view. +Thermal structure predicted from a global mantle convection simulation in G-ADOPT that incorporates 230 Myr of plate motion history reconstructed in [GPlates](https://www.gplates.org/).
