Large low-velocity provinces (LLVPs) lie near the core, beneath Africa and the Pacific Ocean .

They are notable for their unusual makeup and their ability to slow seismic waves, making them mysterious features of Earth ’s interior.

Study has the potential to transform our understanding of planetary formation and evolution.

If these structures are indeed ancient relics of Theia , they could have influenced processes like plate tectonics, the rise of continents, and even the planet's magnetic field.
