Abstract
Some portion of long-wavelength topography and bathymetry in the southwestern Indian Ocean is supported by convective processes within the Earth's mantle. Predictive models suggest that both southern Africa and the southwestern Indian Ocean are anomalously elevated by 0.5--1.5~km. In contrast, observed residual depth anomalies of the oceanic plate vary over wavelengths of
