Mantle Amphiboles and Mantle Plumes
Mineralogical Magazine, 1998Metasomatic minerals such as clinopyroxene, amphibole, phlogopite or apatite found in many mantle xenoliths provide evidence for fluid migration through mantle rocks and reaction with mantle minerals. The chemical composition of these minerals give us insight into the nature and composition of the percolating fluids, the processes of fluid-melt ...

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.

Mantle plumes and geochemistry
Chemical Geology, 2007Abstract There is considerable interest in the extent to which mantle plumes exist, how many there may be, and how best they can be recognized. It has proved unexpectedly difficult to image them consistently from seismology, and it has been suggested that they may be recognized from the geochemistry of rocks erupted at the Earth's surface.

O'HARA1 has objected to my interpretation concerning the trace element chemistry of lavas erupted along the Iceland-Reykjanes Ridge System2 on the ground that: (1) Such magmas are not “primary magmas” but residual liquids; (2) instead, such lavas have suffered prior to eruption extensive “gabbro fractionation” at low pressure (olivine-augite ...

Seismic images of Earth’s interior offer evidence that hot columns of buoyant rock from deep in the mantle are the source of the volcanism at Yellowstone and similar hot spots. Yet mysteries remain.

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.

Abstract Mantle plumes are hypothetical hot, narrow mantle upwellings that are often invoked to explain hotspot volcanism with unusual geophysical and geochemical characteristics. The mantle plume is a well-established geological structure in computer modeling and laboratory experiments but an undisputed seismic detection of one has yet to be made ...

Seismic images under 62 possible hotspots are reviewed for understanding the origin of hotspots and mantle plumes. Plume-like, continuous low-velocity anomalies are visible beneath Hawaii, Tahiti, Louisville, Iceland, Cape Verde, Reunion, Kerguelen, Amsterdam, Afar, Eifel, Hainan, Yellowstone and Cobb hotspots, suggesting that they may be 13 whole ...
