Strong Physical Contrasts Across Two Mid‐Lithosphere Discontinuities Beneath the Northwestern United States: Evidence for Cratonic Mantle Metasomatism
Abstract Mid‐lithosphere discontinuities are seismic interfaces likely located within the lithospheric mantle of stable cratons, which typically represent velocities decreasing with depth. The origins of these interfaces are poorly understood due to the difficulties in both characterizing them seism...
