Plate tectonics on the Earth triggered by plume-induced subduction initiation

Summary
It is demonstrated that three key physical factors combine to trigger self-sustained subduction: a strong, negatively buoyant oceanic lithosphere; a focused magmatic weakening and thinning of lithosphere above the plume; and lubrication of the slab interface by hydrated crust.
