Abstract
Subducting slabs can influence mantle flow, but the importance of neighbouring continental cratons is little understood. Geodynamical modelling, constrained by seismic data that identify regions of mantle flow beneath the Caribbean–South American Plate margin, shows that the deep-rooted South American craton acts to deflect and enhance mantle flow into a narrow channel.
