Evolution of plate speed v_p (A), atmosphere reservoir content R_a (B), surface temperature T_s (C), crust reservoir content R_k (D) and mantle reservoir content R_m (E) for different initial distributions of the total carbon budget R_tot over the various reservoirs. Different color depict model runs with different initial surface reservoirs R_s (t = 0) = R_a(t = 0) + R_o(t = 0). Solid lines indicate results from this work, while dotted lines represent results from Foley (2015).
