The Thermo‐Chemical Evolution of Mars With a Strongly Stratified Mantle
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Martian mantle probably experienced an early global magma ocean stage. crystallization and the fractionation overturn of such a likely led to formation compositionally distinct layer at bottom mantle. This would have been heavily enriched in iron heat-producing elements (HPE). significant enrichment can lead long-term stability with little mixing between overlying We studied influence basal on thermal chemical evolution using both 2-D finite-volume modeling scale, parameterized convection approach entire planetary scale. is most stably stratified because its moderate thickness and/or gradual depth that prevents development this region. explored wide parameter space our models, including rheology. show presence has dramatic thermo-chemical Mars, strongly delaying deep cooling, significantly affecting nearly all present-day characteristics planet (heat flux, state, crustal lithospheric thickness, Love number tidal dissipation). In particular, HPE generates large volumes stable melt near core-mantle boundary. Due their intrinsic low viscosity seismic velocities, these regions silicate could be erroneously interpreted as core material.

The influence of mantle melting on the evolution of Mars
We present a parameterized convection model of Mars by incorporating a new heat-flow scaling law for stagnant-lid convection, to better understand how the evolution of Mars may be affected by mantle melting. Melting in the mantle during convection leads to the formation of a compositionally buoyant lithosphere, which may also be intrinsically more viscous by dehydration. The consequences of the...

15 صفحه اولThe thermochemical structure and evolution of Earth's mantle: constraints and numerical models.
Geochemical observations place several constraints on geophysical processes in the mantle, including a requirement to maintain several distinct reservoirs. Geophysical constraints limit plausible physical locations of these reservoirs to a thin basal layer, isolated deep 'piles' of material under large-scale mantle upwellings, high-viscosity blobs/plums or thin strips throughout the mantle, or ...
