Seismic images of Earth's interior reveal two massive anomalous zones at the base of the
mantle, above the core, where seismic waves travel slowly. The mantle materials that …

Seismic tomography reveals 2 extensive regions in the lowermost mantle, beneath Africa
and the Pacific, that exhibit lower-than-average seismic wave speeds. These regions have …

Seismic images of Earth's interior have revealed two continent-sized anomalies with low
seismic velocities, known as the large low-velocity provinces (LLVPs), in the lowermost …

Two large low-shear-velocity provinces (LLSVPs) in the deep mantle beneath Africa and the
Pacific are generally interpreted as hot but chemically dense 'piles', which have remained …

Numerical convection models of the thermochemical evolution of Venus are compared to
present‐day topography and geoid and recent resurfacing history. The models include …

Based on SEMUCB‐WM1 tomographic model, validated by other recent models, and fluid
mechanics constraints, we show that the large low shear velocity provinces (LLSVPs) …

Partial melting of Earth's mantle generates oceanic crust and leaves behind a chemically
depleted residual mantle. The time-integrated composition of this chemically depleted …

The thermal and chemical evolution of rocky planets is controlled by their surface tectonics
and magmatic processes. On Earth, magmatism is dominated by plutonism/intrusion versus …

Aims. We explore volcanic CO 2-outgassing on purely rocky, stagnant-lid exoplanets of
different interior structures, compositions, thermal states, and age. We focus on planets in …

The core–mantle boundary (CMB)–the interface between the silicate mantle and liquid iron
alloy outer core–is the most important boundary inside our planet, with processes occurring …
