Seismic evidence for global basalt accumulation in the mantle transition zone
The mantle’s compositional structure reflects the thermochemical evolution of Earth. Yet, even the radial average composition of the mantle remains debated. Here, we analyze a global dataset of shear and compressional waves reflecting off the 410- and 660-km discontinuities that is 10 times larger t...
