Geochemical Constraints on the Structure of the Earth's Deep Mantle and the Origin of the LLSVPs

Abstract Geophysical analysis of the Earth's lower mantle has revealed the presence of two superstructures characterized by low shear wave velocities on the core‐mantle boundary. These Large Low Shear Velocity Provinces (LLSVPs) play a crucial role in the dynamics of the lower mantle and act as...
