Elastic properties of silicate melts: Implications for low velocity zones at the lithosphere-asthenosphere boundary

Low seismic velocity regions in the mantle and crust are commonly attributed to the presence of silicate melts. Determining melt volume and geometric distribution is fundamental to understanding planetary dynamics. We present a new model for seismic velocity reductions that accounts for the anomalou...
