Mantle Plumes and Continental Tectonics
Science, 1992Mantle plumes and plate tectonics, the result of two distinct modes of convection within the Earth, operate largely independently. Although plumes are secondary in terms of heat transport, they have probably played an important role in continental geology.

We review the resolution currently available with seismic tomography, in particular the ability of seismic waves to image mantle plumes, and discuss frequently asked questions about artifacts, interpretation and possible systematic errors. These aspects are discussed in more detail for two case histories offering different problems in the tomographic ...

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 ...
