Unique composition and evolutionary histories of large low velocity provinces by Panton, J, Davies, JH, Koelemeijer, P, Myhill, R, Ritsema, J

“…Using simulations of 3-D global mantle circulation over the past 1 Gyr, we find that two antipodal LLVPs develop naturally as a consequence of Earth’s recent subduction history and the gravitational settling and stirring of SOC. Shear-wave velocity reductions in the two LLVPs are similar due to the dominating influence of temperature over composition. …”
