The thermal structure of the lithosphere from shear wave velocities
The low shear wave velocities Vs observed beneath spreading ridges and in the low velocity
zone beneath plates are commonly attributed to the presence of melt. But geochemical …

Dehydration-driven stress transfer triggers intermediate-depth earthquakes
Abstract Intermediate-depth earthquakes (30–300 km) have been extensively documented
within subducting oceanic slabs, but their mechanics remains enigmatic. Here we decipher …

Experimental evidence supports mantle partial melting in the asthenosphere
The low-velocity zone (LVZ) is a persistent seismic feature in a broad range of geological
contexts. It coincides in depth with the asthenosphere, a mantle region of lowered viscosity …

Nominally anhydrous minerals and Earth's deep water cycle
Earth is unique among the Terrestrial planets in having liquid water on its surface. Water
controls the entire character of the biology and geology of the planet. Without liquid water …

Constraining olivine abundance and water content of the mantle at the 410-km discontinuity from the elasticity of olivine and wadsleyite
Velocity and density jumps across the 410-km seismic discontinuity generally indicate
olivine contents of∼ 30 to 50 vol.% on the basis of the elastic properties of anhydrous …

Intermediate-depth earthquakes linked to localized heating in dunite and harzburgite
The occurrence of intermediate-depth and deep earthquakes at depths greater than 60 km
in subducting slabs has long puzzled geoscientists. These earthquakes require some …

Dislocation-accommodated grain boundary sliding as the major deformation mechanism of olivine in the Earth's upper mantle
Understanding the deformation mechanisms of olivine is important for addressing the
dynamic processes in Earth's upper mantle. It has been thought that dislocation creep is the …
