Reconciling magma‐ocean crystallization models with the present‐day structure of the Earth's mantle

Reconciling magma‐ocean crystallization models with the present‐day structure of the Earth's mantle

Terrestrial planets are thought to experience episode(s) of large-scale melting early in their history. Fractionation during magma-ocean freezing leads to unstable stratification within the related cumulate layers due to progressive iron enrichment upward, but the effects of incremental cumulate overturns during MO crystallization remain to be explored. Here, we use …
