    Description: We present tomographic evidence for the existence of deep-mantle thermal convection plumes. P-wave velocity images show at least six well-resolved plumes that extend into the lowermost mantle: Ascension, Azores, Canary, Easter, Samoa, and Tahiti. Other less well-resolved plumes, including Hawaii, may also reach the lowermost mantle. We also see several plumes that are mostly confined to the upper mantle, suggesting that convection may be partially separated into two depth regimes. All of the observed plumes have diameters of several hundred kilometers, indicating that plumes convey a substantial fraction of the internal heat escaping from Earth.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Montelli, Raffaella -- Nolet, Guust -- Dahlen, F A -- Masters, Guy -- Engdahl, E Robert -- Hung, Shu-Huei -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2004 Jan 16;303(5656):338-43.

    Description: Double Benioff zones provide opportunities for insight into seismogenesis because the underlying mechanism must explain two layers of deep earthquakes and the separation between them. We characterize layer separation inside subducting plates with a coordinate rotation to calculate the slab-normal distribution of earthquakes. Benchmark tests on well-established examples confirm that layer separation is accurately quantified with global seismicity catalogs alone. Global analysis reveals double Benioff zones in 30 segments, including all 16 subduction zones investigated, with varying subducting plate ages and stress orientations, which implies that they are inherent in subducting plates. Layer separation increases with age and is more consistent with dehydration of antigorite than chlorite.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Brudzinski, Michael R -- Thurber, Clifford H -- Hacker, Bradley R -- Engdahl, E Robert -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2007 Jun 8;316(5830):1472-4.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Geology Department, Miami University, Oxford, OH 45056, USA. brudzimr@muohio.edu〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17556583" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Notes: [Auszug] Seismic tomography based on P-wave travel times and improved earthquake locations provides further evidence for mantle-wide convective flow. The use of body waves makes it possible to resolve long, narrow structures in the lower mantle some of which can be followed to sites of present-day plate ...

    Notes: [Auszug] PKiKP waves are normally observed at distances between 105 and 110 as evidenced by Bolt, O'Neill, and Qamar1. But theoretical calculations by Bolt and O'Neill2 predict this phase to be well below the level of detect ability in normal observational circumstances. Seismic arrays have a distinct ...

    Notes: [Auszug] SIR,-This is in response to the letter from G. Ranalli (Nature, 236, 413 ; 1972). Readers might have concluded from the wording of Dr Ranalli?s letter that in our work on steep-incidence reflexions from the Earth's inner core (Nature, 228, 852; 1970) we were unaware of the earlier observations ...
