摘要

Earth's thermo-chemical structure exerts a fundamental control on mantle convection, plate tectonics, and surface volcanism. There are indications that mantle convection occurs as an intermittent-stage process between layered and whole mantle convection in interaction with a compositional stratification at 660 km depth. However, the presence and possible role of any compositional layering in the mantle remains to be ascertained and understood. By interfacing inversion of a novel global seismic data set with petrologic phase equilibrium calculations, we show that a compositional boundary is not required to explain short- and long-period seismic data sensitive to the upper mantle and transition zone beneath stable continental regions; yet, radial enrichment in basaltic material reproduces part of the complexity present in the data recorded near subduction zones and volcanically active regions. Our findings further indicate that: 1) cratonic regions are characterized by low mantle potential temperatures and significant lateral variability in mantle composition; and 2) chemical equilibration seems more difficult to achieve beneath stable cratonic regions. These findings suggest that the lithologic integrity of the subducted basalt and harzburgite may be better preserved for geologically significant times underneath cratonic regions.
