Temporal evolution of temperature and composition after an Isidis-sized impact on Mars: model with purely thermal buoyancy (I-36/T)

Isidis-like impact on Mars at 400 My. Mantle convection accounts for thermal buoyancy only. The panels show temperature <i>T</i> (left) and composition (melting degree) <i>f</i> (right); <i>f</i><0 indicates enrichment.<br>This animation is supplementary material for "On the relative importance of thermal and chemical buoyancy in regular and impact-induced melting in a Mars-like planet" by Ruedas and Breuer
