Nonlinearity of the post-spinel transition and its expression in slabs and plumes worldwide

Nonlinearity of the post-spinel transition and its expression in slabs and plumes worldwide

Abstract Phase transitions in the mantle control its internal dynamics and structure. The post-spinel transition marks the upper–lower mantle boundary, where ringwoodite dissociates into bridgmanite plus ferropericlase, and its Clapeyron slope regulates mantle flow across it. This interaction has pr...
