Just as honey slowly drips from a spoon, parts of the rocky outermost layer of Earth’s shell have been continuously sinking into the more fluid layers of the planet’s mantle over millions of years. Known as lithospheric dripping – named for the fragmentation of the rocky material that makes up the Earth’s crust and upper mantle – this process results in significant deformation of the surface such as basins, crustal folds and irregular elevations.
