RECENTLY, Birchreported data on the density and composition of the mantle and core. He wrote: ``The resulting densities in the lower mantle are found to be in good agreement with shock-wave measurements on rocks having FeO contents in the range 10 +/- 2% by weight ... except for iron ...
Considerable amounts of exchange may have occurred between the core and mantle early in the Earth's history even up to the formation of a basal magma ocean. However, the extent of material exchange across the CMB upon cooling of the mantle was no greater than 1-2% of the core's mass, ...
What is the Core of the Earth? The Earth contains all plant, animal, human and microbial life known to our species. All of that life is made possible by the core of the Earth. Geologists have broken the Earth down into three main categories: the crust, the mantle, and the core. ...

Triple oxygen isotopes of Cenozoic intrusive rocks emplaced along the Ross Sea coastline in Antarctica, reveal that meteoric-hydrothermal waters imprinted their stable isotope composition on mineral phases, leaving a clear record of oxygen and hydrogen isotope variations during the establishment of the pol...
Heterogeneous accretion, composition and core–mantle differentiation of the Earth We model multistage core formation during accretion of the Earth. Constraints on model parameters are provided by primitive mantle composition. Early accre... DC Rubie,DJ Frost,U Mann,... - 《Earth & Planetary Science...

What is the lower mantle? Earth is comprised of several layers of solid and molten metal and rock arranged like the layers of a cake. The core, comprised of two sections, forms the center of the Earth and is shaped like a ball. The first section, known as the inner core, is solid ...
mantle5. The oxidation of the mantle is related to core differentiation and depends on factors such as the mantle pressure, temperature and stellar irradiation6,7. The Earth’s upper mantle is oxidized at present; geological evidence suggests that this transition from a reduced mantle to an ...
THE elevated abundances of highly siderophile elements in the Earth's mantle, relative to what would be predicted from metal-silicate equilibrium, have often been cited as evidence for the accretion to the Earth of a 'late veneer' of chondritic material following core formation1. As rhenium and...
