Abstract

High flux of geoantineutrinos 40^{40}K and geoneutrinos 40^{40}K (40^{40}K-geo-(νˉ+ν\bar{\nu} + \nu)) can be obtained from reanalysis of the Borexino Phase III data. Large amounts of 40^{40}K should produce a significant heat flow that should affect Earth's internal processes. We present the results of the modeling of mantle convection taking into account the excess heat from 40^{40}K.
