Massive Continent-Sized Blobs Deep in Earth’s Mantle May Be Over a Billion Years Old
Massive mantle formations, called LLSVPs, have been found to be over a billion years old. These structures, sitting 3,000 km beneath the surface, slow seismic waves, indicating unique physical and compositional properties. Their stability suggests they influence Earth's geological processes, including volcanic activity and tectonic movements. Scien...
