Temperature-induced amorphization in CaCO3 at high pressure and implications for recycled CaCO3 in subduction zones

Subduction of oceanic crust introduces huge amounts of carbonates into Earth’s mantle, contributing to the global carbon cycle. Here, based on high-pressure-temperature experiments, the authors present a reversible temperature-induced transition from aragonite to amorphous CaCO3.
