Transition Zone Structure

Transition Zone Structure is a seismological construct that characterizes the compositional, thermal, and mineralogical layering within the Earth's mantle between approximately 410 and 660 kilometers depth, distinguished by seismic velocity discontinuities primarily caused by phase transitions in olivine and other mantle silicates.
