What Does BSE Stand For?
BSE stands for Bulk Silicate Earth
Bulk Silicate Earth (BSE) refers to the composition of the Earth's silicate crust and mantle, representing the majority of the planet's mass and volume. It encompasses the mineralogical and chemical properties of these layers, excluding metallic cores and surface volatiles. Understanding BSE is essential for geochemical studies, providing insights into the Earth's formation, evolution, and the processes that govern its interior dynamics.
