Scientists reveal evolutionary history of continent-sized regions in the deep mantle

A new study has revealed that two continent-sized regions in Earth’s deep mantle have distinctive histories and resulting chemical composition, in contrast to the common assumption that they are the same. The findings are available to read in the journal Scientific Reports. The study was led by researchers at Cardiff University, the University of Oxford, the University of Bristol, and the University of Michigan. A new study has revealed that two continent-sized regions in Earth’s deep mantle have distinctive histories and resulting chemical composition, in contrast to the common assumption that they are the same.
