Current theory suggests that the upper mantle is composed of olivine, a mineral whose structure stops being stable the greater the depth, this is the key, because from about 410 kilometers deep, other minerals with names also begin to form. complicated like Wadsleyite and ringwoodite that are more and more common the further we go deeper into the earth.
