From: Electrical conductivity of old oceanic mantle in the northwestern Pacific I: 1-D profiles suggesting differences in thermal structure not predictable from a plate cooling model

Fig. 11

Comparison of the 1-D electrical conductivity profiles for the mantle beneath four areas in the northwestern Pacific (Fig. 1). Solid lines are the profiles obtained through inversion. Dark and light shades indicate 70 and 95% uncertainty limits, respectively. Colored, dashed lines indicate the simulated profiles for the representative ages in each area, assuming different thicknesses of the thermally conductive plate, h (see text for details)
