Abstract

The New Global Tectonics admits convection in the upper mande as one of the possible driving forces. An experimental model which permits the study of convection in a fluid with internal homogeneous heat generation has been constructed. The development of asymmetric convection patterns suggests some in-teresting geophysical interpretations.
