Scientists discover giant blobs deep inside Earth are ‘evolving by themselves’ — and we may finally know where they come from
Deep within Earth's mantle, two massive regions known as "large low velocity provinces" (LLVPs) have long puzzled scientists. These blobs, located beneath the Pacific Ocean and Africa, are characterized by seismic waves that travel 1% to 3% slower than in the surrounding mantle. A new study suggests these LLVPs may...
