摘　　要：Earth is a complex,dynamic system governed by the chemical,physical,and mechanical properties of its component minerals.From the crust through the deep mantle and into core,minerals experience extreme pressures and temperatures,resulting in phase transformations and variations in properties.These alterations influence seismic wave propagation,mechanical strength,viscosity,electrical and thermal conductivities,as well as the cycling of key elements such as carbon,water,and oxygen,thereby influencing mantle dynamics,subduction processes,and core dynamics.Thus,understanding the physicochemical properties of minerals in Earth's interior is crucial for interpreting Earth’s structure,dynamic behavior,and evolutionary processes.
