Study Reveals Ultra-Low Velocity Zones May Be More Common in Earth's Mantle Than Previously Thought

A new study published in AGU Advances has unveiled intriguing findings about ultra-low velocity zones (ULVZs) in Earth's mantle, suggesting these mysterious features might be more widespread than previously thought.ULVZs, which are known to dramatically slow seismic waves by up to 50%, have long been associated with volcanic hotspots such as Hawaii. However, recent re...
