New insight into the composition and the structure of the terrestrial planet’s deep seated zones

Abstract
The structure and composition of the Earth’s mantle and of the terrestrial planets are considered in the light of the new scientific approaches. These data indicate on the further structural subdivision of the Earth’s inner geospheres and of the Moon’s deep seated zones. The results of HP- and HT-experiments related with the transformation of the main mantle’s and core’s components of the Earth, Moon, gaseus giants (Jupiter and Saturn) and ice giant planets (Uranus and Neptune) reveal the new structure and property changes.
