Although seismic tomography has revealed the stagnancy of the western Pacific plate beneath northeastern China, dynamic simulation shows that stagnant slabs sink into the lower mantle after a transient stagnation. In this study, numerical simulation was used to determine whether geomagnetic depth so...
