Mantle partial melting buffers magma-ocean differentiation more on Earth than Mars due to stronger convection, explaining the presence of a basal dense layer only on Mars.
Simulations indicate that order-of-magnitude changes in TiO2 and SiO2 abundances in lava melts produce distinguishable TiO, SiO, and SiO2 features in dry lava planet emission spectra, potentially observable with 12 JWST eclipses for the brightest targets.

Sensitivity of Dry Lava Planet Atmospheric Emission Spectra to Changes in Lava Compositions
Simulations indicate that order-of-magnitude changes in TiO2 and SiO2 abundances in lava melts produce distinguishable TiO, SiO, and SiO2 features in dry lava planet emission spectra, potentially observable with 12 JWST eclipses for the brightest targets.
