-In the section on [slab temperature](part:user_manual:chap:basic_starter_tutorial:sec:12_subducting_plate_temp), we added the {cite:t}`McKenzie_1970` (that is the plate model) slab temperature structure. Although this is a good first order approximation of a slab temperature, the recently develop {cite:t}`Billen_Fraters_AGU_2023` temperature model has many advantages over it, with the downside that is it a bit more involved to use. In this chapter we will just switch out the plate model with mass conserving without going too much into the detail of how to actually use it in practice. If you plan to use the mass conserving temperature model, please first read through both the [Simple Subduction Model: 2D Cartesian](part:user_manual:chap:cookbooks:sec:simple_subduction_2d_cartesian)and [Simple Subduction Model: 2D Chunk](part:user_manual:chap:cookbooks:sec:simple_subduction_2d_chunk) cookbooks.
