"Large Low Shear Velocity Provinces (LLSVPs) have remained one of the most mysterious features of the Earth’s mantle since first observed in the 80s. Seismic tomography shows LLSVPs as colossal blobs slowing down seismic waves and sitting beneath Africa and the Pacific Ocean. Their location on the core-mantle boundary and their size puts them
