Hydrous melting driven by changes in H2O storage capacity may occur in a variety of
settings in the mantle, including in oceanic basalt sources and in deeper regions above and …

Starting from the late 1980s, several groups of lower-mantle mineral inclusions in diamond
have been found. Three associations were established among them: juvenile ultramafic …

Water in Earth's deep interior is predicted to be hydroxyl (OH−) stored in nominally
anhydrous minerals, profoundly modulating both structure and dynamics of Earth's mantle …

55 4.4 Experimental techniques 57 4.5 Some general trends in elasticity: Birch's law 59 4.6 …

The high water storage capacity of minerals in Earth's mantle transition zone (410-to 660-
kilometer depth) implies the possibility of a deep H2O reservoir, which could cause …

Early in terrestrial planet evolution energetic impact, radiodecay, and core formation may
have created one or more whole or partial silicate mantle magma oceans. The time to …

The phase relations in the peridotite–water system to the top of the lower mantle reveal that
a certain amount of water can be transported and stored in the transition zone by various …

Hydrogen and deuterium isotopic evidence indicates that the source of terrestrial water was
mostly meteorites, with additional influx from nebula gas during accretion. There are two …

The water content in Earth's mantle today remains poorly constrained, but the bulk water
storage capacity in the solid mantle can be quantified based on experimental data and may …

The H2O storage capacity of nominally anhydrous minerals or rocks is the concentration of
water that can be sequestered in the mineral (s) without stabilizing a hydrous fluid or melt …
