Rheology and geometry are two important factors in the Earth’s mantle convection phenomenon. That is, the viscosity is strongly dependent on the temperature and the phenomenon occurs in a spherical shell domain. Focusing our attention on these two factors, we describe a total approach of numerical simulation of the Earth’s mantle convection, i.e., mathematical modeling, mathematical analysis, computational scheme, error analysis, and numerical result.
