Competing Deformation Mechanisms in Periclase: Implications for Lower Mantle Anisotropy

Competing Deformation Mechanisms in Periclase: Implications for Lower Mantle Anisotropy

Seismic anisotropy is observed above the core-mantle boundary in regions of slab subduction and near the margins of Large Low Shear Velocity Provinces (LLSVPs). Ferropericlase is believed to be the second most abundant phase in the lower mantle. As it is rheologically weak, it may be a dominant sour...
