Earth's mantle transition zone (MTZ) is characterized by several sharp increases in seismic
wave speed between~ 300 km and~ 850 km depth. These seismic discontinuities are …

The mantle's compositional structure reflects the thermochemical evolution of Earth. Yet,
even the radial average composition of the mantle remains debated. Here, we analyze a …

Seismic observations of the mantle discontinuities at depths of 410 and 660 km provide
crucial information to constrain the thermal and compositional states and further shape our …

Electrical conductivity of mantle minerals is highly sensitive to water content, so estimates of
this physical parameter based on long‐period electromagnetic induction data can help to …

The eastern continental margin of North America, despite being a passive margin at present,
records a comprehensive tectonic history of both mountain building and rifting events. This …

An unprecedented number of broadband seismic data from 165 stations were utilized to
constrain the topographic variations in seismic discontinuities at the top and bottom of the …

地幔过渡带位于410-km 和660-km 两个地震学间断面之间, 是深入认识地球内部温度结构,
物质组成以及动力学演化过程的关键区域. 地幔过渡带的上下界面分别对应橄榄石到瓦兹利石和 …

Using an iterative numerical approach, we have obtained the self-consistent thermal
expansion, heat capacity, and Grüneisen parameters of diopside (MgCaSi2O6) over wide …

Indian plate passed over four plumes on its way toward the Eurasian plate. These
interactions with plumes certainly affected the upper mantle and crust of the Indian plate as …

Plate tectonics is a vital factor to the uniqueness and habitability of the Earth. Fundamental
plate tectonic processes including subduction, terrane accretion, and continental rifting not …
