The vertical movement of the mantle is one of the driving forces that brings about large-scale geological changes to the ...

Yuan and Desch joined forces to figure out what Theia’s mantle composition would have needed to look like in order for it to resemble today’s LLSVPs after 4.5 billion years of mantle convection.

A plume of molten rock deep beneath eastern Africa is pulsing upward in rhythmic surges, slowly splitting the continent and ...

Scientists still disagree about the composition of the deep mantle. There are odd structures near the core-mantle boundary called large low-shear velocity provinces (LLVPs), where seismic waves ...

A record-breaking 1268-meter drill core into Earth’s mantle, collected from the Mid-Atlantic Ridge in the North Atlantic, has provided a deep and detailed mineralogical glimpse of the oceanic ...

Mantle plumes were the implicit link in previous studies relating BLOBS to giant volcanic eruptions. Their shape is a bit ...

They reveal that the chemical composition of the deep mantle has remained almost intact since the Earth's formation 4.5 ...

On present-day Earth, plate subduction continuously modifies the chemical composition of the convecting mantle, and various mantle sources linked to these processes have been widely studied ...

Dense Hydrous Magnesium Silicates (DHMSs) are generally considered as primary water carriers from the shallow lithosphere to the deep mantle transition region (MTR; 410-660 km in depth).
