Probing the Mantle Transition Zone beneath the Central Pacific Region Using PP Precursors
The mantle transition zone (MTZ) of the Earth is bounded by globally observed discontinuities at depths of about 410 and 660 km, which are mainly attributed to the spinel and post-spinel phase transitions of olivine. The temperature-pressure relationships of phase transitions at the discontinuities,...
