Sluggish thermochemical basal mantle structures support their long-lived stability

Abstract Large low shear-wave velocity provinces (LLSVPs) in the lowermost mantle are the largest geological structures on Earth, but their origin and age remain highly enigmatic. Geological constraints suggest the stability of the LLSVPs since at least 200 million years ago. Here, we conduct numeri...
