Extensive iron–water exchange at Earth’s core–mantle boundary can explain seismic anomalies

Abstract Seismological observations indicate the presence of chemical heterogeneities at the lowermost mantle, just above the core–mantle boundary (CMB), sparking debate over their origins. A plausible explanation for the enigmatic seismic wave velocities observed in ultra-low-velocity zones (ULVZs)...
