Phase change is the structure changeof distribution of

atoms

Rate ofphasechangeof olivine to spinel slows down due

to coldertemperature in the subducted slab

Any wave incident on

discontinuity splits into p and s ware

haven'tsunken till now
Eg cratons arein high density
Highvelocity cratons is because of their compositional
anomaly not densityanomaly

Bridgemanite mineral has perovskite structure

Plumes are mostly in the oceans and they do not create

so no seismic waves are formed Hence
anyearthquakes
they are hard to record with seismic tomography

and it Latent heat getsreleased which
grows gradually
can be converted to kinetic energy for outer core to move

convectionhappens in a fluid due to salinity temperature
