Continental Mid‐Lithosphere Discontinuity: A Water Collector During Craton Evolution

Continental mid‐lithosphere discontinuity (MLD) seems to be ubiquitous beneath cratons around the world with the dominant depth of 70–100 km, and is characterized by a shear‐wave velocity drop of 2%–7%, according to geophysical observations. The MLD is often considered to be related to a rheological...
