Olivine Peridot: Mantle Mineral
- Olivine constitutes around 70 percent of the Earth’s upper mantle
- is also called peridot.
- at a depth of about 410 kilometers, it is converted into denser wadsleyite;
- at 520 kilometers it then metamorphoses into even denser ringwoodite.
- “These mineral transformations greatly hinder the movements of rock in the mantle.
- there is a whole graveyard of such plates in this zone underneath Europe,”
