Front Matter -- Thermal Structure of Deep Earth. Melting of Fe Alloys and the Thermal Structure of the Core / Rebecca A Fischer -- Temperature of the Lower Mantle and Core Based on Ab Initio Mineral ...
The continent-sized blobs are much hotter than the lower mantle, creating a significant temperature gradient in the rocky ...
Earth’s deep interior still shapes the world above your feet. Water trapped far below the surface helps control how rocks move, melt, and recycle through the mantle. Some of that water carries a ...
An ancient slab of Earth's crust buried deep beneath the Midwest is sucking huge swatches of present-day's North American crust down into the mantle, researchers say. The slab's pull has created giant ...
The cycling of water within Earth's interior regulates plate tectonics, volcanism, ocean volume, and climate stability, ...
(a)The phase boundary between stishovite and post-stishovite with the varying Al content. The contour represents the phase boundary of stishovite with different Al content and the H/Al ratio of ~1/3.
A research team led by Prof. WANG Wenzhong from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) has revealed that these enigmatic regions may be formed by superionic iron hydride through ...
