Seismostratigraphy and thermal structure of Earth's core-mantle boundary region.
We used three-dimensional inverse scattering of core-reflected shear waves for large-scale, high-resolution exploration of Earth's deep interior (D'') and detected multiple, piecewise continuous interfaces in the lowermost layer (D'') beneath Central and North America. With thermodynamic properties of phase transitions in mantle silicates, we interpret the images and estimate in situ temperatur...
متن کاملAvalanches at the core-mantle boundary
The partial collapse of topographic structure at the core-mantle boundary (CMB) in avalanches, slumps or turbidity flows, would cause sudden temperature changes in both the upper core and the lower mantle. Although such collapses are hypothetical, it is interesting to investigate the potential consequences. Downwelling from such events could disrupt core convection cells and trigger geomagnetic...
متن کاملGeomagnetic spikes on the core-mantle boundary
Extreme variations of Earth's magnetic field occurred in the Levant region around 1000 BC, when the field intensity rapidly rose and fell by a factor of 2. No coherent link currently exists between this intensity spike and the global field produced by the core geodynamo. Here we show that the Levantine spike must span >60° longitude at Earth's surface if it originates from the core-mantle bound...
متن کاملIncompressibility at the earth's mantle-core boundary.
(1) Introduction.-In this paper, the values of variables at the base of the mantle and top of the core in the Earth models to be considered will be indicated by the subscripts 1 and 2, respectively; k and p will denote the incompressibility and density; let Ak = k2ki and Ap = p2 pi. In an earlier Earth model,1 Model A, k1 = 6.5 X 1012 dyn/cm2 and k2 = 6.2 X 1012 dyn/cm2, giving Ak = -0.3 X 1012...
