Mantle plumes originate at depths near the core− mantle boundary (~ 2,800 km). As such,
they provide invaluable information about the composition of the deep mantle and insight …

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 …

It is widely thought that animals switch gaits at speeds that minimize energetic cost. Horses
naturally switched from a trot to a gallop at a speed where galloping required more energy …

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 …

First-principles molecular-dynamics simulations show that over the pressure regime of
Earth's mantle the mean silicon-oxygen coordination number of magnesium metasilicate …

The scenario of crystallization of a terrestrial magma ocean that seems to be consistent with
both fluid dynamical and geochemical constraints is as follows. Even the largest impact is …

The problem of measuring the viscosity of fluids under shock-loading conditions is
discussed. The authors examine in detail the method of Sakharov et al.(1965) and …

The nature of the earth's core ADS Classic is now deprecated. It will be completely retired in
October 2019. This page will automatically redirect to the new ADS interface at that point …

The melting curves of two compositions of (Mg, Fe) SiO3-perovskite, the likely dominant
mineral phase in the lower mantle, have been measured in a CO2 laser-heated diamond …

Melting temperature measurements of six minerals (stishovite (SiO2), corundum (Al2O3),
diopside (CaMgSi2O6), and three perovskites (MgSiO3, CaSiO3, Mg3Al2Si3O12)) at high …
