Terrestrial Magma Ocean Solidification and Formation of a Candidate D ′ ′ Layer
In this thesis we investigate the solidification of early magma oceans on the Earth and the formation of a deep dense layer at the core-mantle boundary. We also study the concentrations and densities of the last layers of the solidified magma ocean and how they create a deep dense layer after solid-state overturn. The deep dense layer that forms in our model matches the bulk physical properties...
متن کاملStability of Fe,Al-bearing bridgmanite in the lower mantle and synthesis of pure Fe-bridgmanite
The physical and chemical properties of Earth's mantle, as well as its dynamics and evolution, heavily depend on the phase composition of the region. On the basis of experiments in laser-heated diamond anvil cells, we demonstrate that Fe,Al-bearing bridgmanite (magnesium silicate perovskite) is stable to pressures over 120 GPa and temperatures above 3000 K. Ferric iron stabilizes Fe-rich bridgm...
متن کاملOn the Scale of Lunar Mantle Overturn following Magma Ocean Fractional Solidification: the Role for Multiple Scales of Convective Motion,
Introduction: In understanding the evolution of the Moon, a number of its fundamental magmatic characteristics must be explained in the context of other geophysical and geological observations. Volcanic activity subsequent to the formation of anorthositic crust was dominated by the eruption of mare basalt. (1) The main phase of mare volcanism began ~500 Myr after the crystallization of the anor...
متن کاملThe Fate of Water within Earth-like Planets and Implications for the Onset of Plate Tectonics
Introduction: Water is thought to be vital for the development of plate tectonics because it lowers viscosities in the asthenosphere and enables subduction. However, the following issue persists: if water is necessary for plate tectonics, but subduction itself hydrates the upper mantle, how is the upper mantle initially hydrated? Here we present models demonstrating that processes associated wi...
متن کاملMelt-solid Segregation and Fractional Magma Ocean Solidification with Implications for the Evolution Of
Introduction: Large planetary bodies are likely to have been significantly melted during their accretion, simply as a consequence of the potential energy of accretion if accretion occurs rapidly enough or possibly due to giant impacts [1]. Since the solidus and liquidus temperatures of mantle mineral assemblages increase with pressure more rapidly than temperature along an adiabat, solidificati...
