Could partially molten rock lie beneath the tectonic plate in the Western United States?

Byrnes et al. use seismic wave propagation to reveal insights from the asthenosphere in this area, providing novel evidence of its partial molten composition.

In a study "The Mantle Viscosity Structure of Venus" that was published in the Geophysical Research Letters, Maia et al. used gravity and topography data of #Venus to show that this planet has a low-viscosity zone in the upper mantle. This zone is about 200 km thick and is about 10 times less viscous than the underlying mantle. This feature is analogous to Earth's #asthenosphere and could be a result of partial melt being present in the mantle.
