New research linking Earth's two enormous deep-mantle "blob" structures—the large low-shear-velocity provinces—to the origin of life is driving fresh public interest, alongside coverage framing them as hidden mega-structures dwarfing Everest.
Large low-shear-velocity provinces, massive slow-velocity zones in Earth's deep mantle, are trending due to new research linking them to the origin of life and framing them as hidden mega-structures.
