Global influence of mantle temperature and plate thickness on intraplate volcanism [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2021 Here, the authors compile a global geochemical database of Neogene-Quaternary intraplate volcanism. By comparing the distribution and composition of these rocks with tomographic models they show that intraplate volcanism can be used to constrain upper ...

Intraplate volcanism originating from upwelling hydrous mantle transition zone [PDF]
Nature, 2020 Most magmatism occurring on Earth is conventionally attributed to passive mantle upwelling at mid-ocean ridges, to slab devolatilization at subduction zones, or to mantle plumes. However, the widespread Cenozoic intraplate volcanism in northeast China1-3 and the young petit-spot volcanoes4-7 offshore of the Japan Trench cannot readily be associated ...

Local slab penetration into lower mantle controls deep-focus seismicity and Changbaishan volcanism in northeast China [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsIntraplate volcanism in the Changbaishan region of northeast China is underlain by a deep subduction-related earthquake cluster in the mantle transition zone, but the underlying physical connections between them remain elusive.

Linking Intraplate Volcanism to Lithospheric Structure and Asthenospheric Flow
Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2021 Several of Earth's intraplate volcanic provinces are hard to reconcile with the mantle plume hypothesis. Instead, they exhibit characteristics that are more compatible with shallower processes that involve the interplay between uppermost mantle flow and ...

The return of stagnant slab recorded by intraplate volcanism. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S ASubducted plates often stagnate in the mantle transition zone (MTZ), and the fate of the stagnant slabs is still debatable. They may sink into the lower mantle, or remain partially trapped in the MTZ, but it is uncertain whether they can return to the upper mantle.

Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 487-501., 2021 Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Pacific plate slab pull and intraplate deformation in the early Cenozoic [PDF]
Solid Earth, 2014 Large tectonic plates are known to be susceptible to internal deformation, leading to a~range of phenomena including intraplate volcanism. However, the space and time dependence of intraplate deformation and its relationship with changing plate ...

Long‐Distance Asthenospheric Transport of Plume‐Influenced Mantle From Afar to Anatolia
Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2023 The origin of widespread volcanism far from plate boundaries and mantle plumes remains a fundamental unsolved question. An example of this puzzle is the Anatolian region, where abundant intraplate volcanism has occurred since 10 Ma, but a nearby ...
