In a convecting fluid, a thermal boundary layer is a layer along a boundary across which heat passes by conduction and the temperature changes from that of the boundary to that of the well-mixed interior. The thermal lithosphere is the upper thermal boundary layer of the mantle: the outer shell of the Earth from the surface down to the depth where the conductive geotherm meets the mantle adiabat.
