Extremely high He isotope ratios in MORB-source mantle from the proto-Iceland plume [PDF]

, 2003
The high ³He/⁴He ratio of volcanic rocks thought to be derived from mantle plumes is taken as evidence for the existence of a mantle reservoir that has remained largely undegassed since the Earth's accretion.

Supercontinent Cycle and Thermochemical Structure in the Mantle: Inference from Two-Dimensional Numerical Simulations of Mantle Convection

Geosciences, 2017
In this study, we conduct numerical simulations of thermochemical mantle convection in a 2D spherical annulus with a highly viscous lid drifting along the top surface, in order to investigate the interrelation between the motion of the surface (super ...

Post-collisional Tertiary–Quaternary mafic alkalic magmatism in the Carpathian–Pannonian region: a review [PDF]

, 2004
Mafic alkalic volcanism was widespread in the Carpathian–Pannonian region (CPR) between 11 and 0.2 Ma. It followed the Miocene continental collision of the Alcapa and Tisia blocks with the European plate, as subduction-related calc-alkaline magmatism was

Fingerprinting secondary mantle plumes [PDF]

Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2022
Many vertical seismic velocity anomalies observed below different parts of the Eurasian plate are rooted in the transition zone between the upper and lower mantle (410–660 km), forming so-called secondary plumes. These anomalies are interpreted as the result of thermal effects of large-scale thermal upwelling (primary plume) in the lower mantle or deep

Deep mantle plumes and an increasing Earth radius

Geodesy and Geodynamics, 2019
Recent space geodetic and gravimetric studies have given indications that the Earth's radius is increasing at 0.1–0.4 mm yr−1 at present. Seismic studies have also shown that earthquakes alone could be causing the radius to increase at 0.011–0.06 mm yr−1.

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 ...

East African topography and volcanism explained by a single, migrating plume [PDF]

, 2020
Anomalous topographic swells and Cenozoic volcanism in east Africa have been associated with mantle plumes. Several models involving one or more fixed plumes beneath the northeastward migrating African plate have been suggested to explain the space-time ...

Intraplate Seamounts as a Window into Deep Earth Processes [PDF]

Oceanography, 2010
Seamounts are windows into the deep Earth that are helping to elucidate various deep Earth processes. For example, thermal and mechanical properties of oceanic lithosphere can be deter-mined from the flexing of oceanic crust caused by the growth of ...
