Explore how deep Earth processes shape continental topography in this 47-minute conference talk examining the relationship between mantle convection and South America's landscape evolution. Learn about the fundamental mechanisms by which convective flows in the Earth's mantle influence surface topography, mountain building, and erosion patterns across the South American continent. Discover the latest research on how mantle dynamics drive long-term geological processes that sculpt continental surfaces over millions of years. Gain insights into the interdisciplinary approach connecting deep Earth geophysics with surface geology and geomorphology. Understand the implications of mantle convection for predicting future landscape changes and interpreting the geological history of South America. This presentation was delivered as part of the Workshop on High-Pressure Mineral Physics and Geophysics Applications at ICTP-SAIFR.
