Description: The computer is used to solve for thermal convection within the earth's mantle. A review of the knowledge of surface displacements and of the present understanding of the mantle and its relevant physical and chemical properties is contained in the paper. Applicable equations assume a Newtonian fluid layer heated from below and within, with gravity acting downward. The numerical method employs finite differences and was constructed with a view toward the faithful simulation of coupling mechanisms. It enables surveying the effect of a parameter using a relatively coarse computing mesh. Some of the results obtained are presented.
