Abstract
We used three-dimensional inverse scattering of core-reflected shear waves for large-scale,
high-resolution exploration of Earth’s deep interior (D′′) and detected multiple, piecewise continuous
interfaces in the lowermost layer (D′′) beneath Central and North America. With thermodynamic
properties of phase transitions in mantle silicates, we interpret the images and estimate in
situ temperatures. A widespread
