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 …

There is little doubt that densities for the Earth's outer core, inferred from seismology, require
that it is constituted of an alloy of liquid iron and light elements. However, the nature of the …

Enlarged and fully updated, this new edition takes into account the considerable
experimental and theoretical progress recently made in the field. Introduction to the Physics …

Topics involved in studies of the Earth's magnetic field and its secular variation range from
the intricate observations of geomagnetism, to worldwide studies of archeomagnetism and …

The bulk chemical composition of the Upper Mantle (“pyrolite”) is derived from experimental
and petrological studies of the complementary relationships between basaltic magmas and …

Subducted oceanic crust, transformed into dense mineral assemblages at high pressure,
may gravitationally segregate at the bottom of the convecting mantle, for example, the D …

The geochemical implications for the Earth of a “giant impact” model for the origin of the
Earth-Moon system (O'Neill, 1991) are discussed, using a mass balance between three …

This is the third paper in a four‐part sequence that examines the nature of mantle layering
using the multiple‐ScS phases and internal reflections observed within the reverberative …

Laboratory experiments document that liquid iron reacts chemically with silicates at high
pressures (≥ 2.4× 1010 Pascals) and temperatures. In particular,(Mg, Fe) SiO3 perovskite …

近十余年来的研究, 在西藏雅鲁藏布江缝合带中的罗布莎蛇绿岩型铬铁矿中,
发现可能来自深部(> 300km 深度) 异常地幔矿物群. 该矿物群中具有深部成因指示意义的矿物有 …
