Ultralow velocity zones are detected on the core-mantle boundary, but their origin is enigmatic. Here, the authors find that the global distribution and large variations of morphology of ultralow velocity zones are consistent with most having a compo

Current astrobiological exploration of the outer solar system is largely driven by understanding planetary ice-ocean systems such as those of Europa and Enceladus. The ice-shell thickness that affects the dynamics of the ice-ocean system is determine

Seismic tomography reveals 2 extensive regions in the lowermost mantle, beneath Africa and the Pacific, that exhibit lower-than-average seismic wave speeds. These regions have been named the Large Low Shear Velocity Provinces (LLSVPs), and they have

Subducted oceanic crust is one of the major sources of compositional heterogeneity in Earth's mantle. It has been proposed that subducted oceanic crust may accumulate at the bottom of the Earth's mantle and cause the seismically-observed, Large Low S

The seismically-observed large low shear velocity provinces in the Earth's lowermost mantle have been hypothesized to be caused by thermochemical piles of compositionally distinct, more-primitive material which may be remnants of Earth's early differ

Thin patches with ultra-low velocities have been proposed to exist at the core-mantle boundary (CMB). The detection and mapping of ultra-low velocity zones (ULVZs) are difficult, in part, because of limited source-receiver geometries of seismic phase

Two large zones through which seismic waves travel unusually slowly are found at the base of Earth's mantle. These zones are thermally and chemically distinct from the surrounding mantle and may be a source for mantle plumes.
