During their formation, terrestrial planets are thought to go through phases of large-scale melting of their silicate mantles referred to as "magma oceans" (MOs; Elkins-Tanton 2012). Such MOs would represent the most important episodes of rapid chemical equilibration between the mantle and the atmosphere in a planet's history (Abe & Matsui 1985).
