Abstract
⺠Rheological properties of super-Earths are calculated based on mineral physics. ⺠The viscosity of mantle rock strongly increases with pressure. ⺠Conductive heat transfer in the lower mantle of super-Earths is dominant. ⺠Possible formation of stagnant zones in the deep mantle of super-Earths.
