Giant Impact Origin for the Large Low Shear Velocity Provinces
Abstract
After the Moon-forming impact, we propose part of its mantle sank to the core-mantle boundary and were collected by mantle convection to form the largest structures in the mantle, the Large Low-Shear-Velocity Provinces. The model supported by geodynamic and thermodynamic modeling.
