Thermo-mechanical modeling has shown that stagnant-lid regimes have thicker boundary layers, lower heat fluxes, and higher internal temperatures than equivalent mobile-lid regimes.
“With all other planetary characteristics being equal, thermo-mechanical modeling has shown that stagnant-lid regimes have thicker boundary layers, lower heat fluxes, and higher internal temperatures than equivalent mobile-lid regimes (O'Neill et al., 2007).”

“Crustal magnetization in the Southern Highlands (Acuna et al., 1999) requires the existence of a dynamo on early Mars (Nimmo and Stevenson, 2000), suggesting plate-tectonics in early Martian history (Sleep, 1994; Lenardic et al., 2004), and our analysis suggests this is plausible.”

“The mass of the planet might influence the potential for plate tectonics to develop, but recent model results related to this question are contradictory as to whether plate tectonics would be more or less likely on super-Earths (O’Neill et al., 2007; Valencia et al., 2007; Stein et al., 2011; Van Heck and Tackley, 201…”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
