Substantial Global Radial Variations of Basalt Content Near the 660‐km Discontinuity by Shangqin Hao, S. Shawn Wei, Peter M. Shearer

“…The basalt fraction decreases significantly to less than 10% near 800‐km depth, forming a global harzburgite‐enriched layer and resulting in a steep seismic velocity gradient just below the d660, in agreement with 1D global reference models. The striking compositional radial variations near the d660 verify geodynamic predictions and challenge the applicability of homogeneous radial compositional models in the mantle. …”
