In developing the concept that chemical plumes have a deep-mantle origin, I propose that plumes result from original chemical inhomogeneities in the Earth. According to the hypothesis of in-homogeneous planetary accretion, the terrestrial planets formed with refractory cores and volatile-rich outer shells, that is, they are layered according to the ...

Geophysical hotspots have been attributed to partially molten asthenosphere, fertile blobs, small-scale convection and upwellings driven by core heat. Most are short-lived or too close together to be deeply seated, and do not have anomalous heat flow or temperature; many are related to tectonic features. Bourdon et al.

The ocean floor is littered with hundreds of thousands of mostly extinct volcanoes. The origin of at least some of these seamounts seems to rest with mantle plumes.

PALEOGEOTHERMS AND MANTLE PLUMES
International Geology Review, 1986Translated from "Paleogeotermy i mantiynyye strui," Izvestiya AN SSSR, seriya geologicheskaya, 1986, No. 7, pp. 16-25. The author is with the Institute of the Lithosphere, USSR Academy of Sciences, Moscow. On the basis of his recalibration of xenolith thermobarometers, he distinguishes convective geothermal gra dients associated with mantle plumes ...
