Mantle-Scale Response

A Moon-forming event is fundamentally a mantle problem before it becomes a surface geology problem.

Observation

Most planetary mass resides beneath the crust. Therefore most planetary momentum, energy redistribution, and deformation must occur within the mantle system.

Constraint Analysis

Any proposed reconstruction must explain how mantle structure responds, relaxes, and preserves information following extreme forcing.

Core Question

Which mantle signatures could survive for billions of years following a Moon-formation-class event?
