“…Together with a ~30-My period of magnetic field reversals ( 32 ), this possibly reflects episodic release of plume material at the core-mantle boundary driven by a “top-down” episodicity of seafloor spreading rates and subduction dynamics. Deep Earth pulsing at a period of ~30 My is further supported by 30-My cycles in Mesozoic-Cenozoic volcanism found in the circum-Arctic region ( 33 ).…”

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
